  Trump called Mattis in summer 2018 and directed him to “screw Amazon” out of $10 billion cloud contract. “Relaying the story to us during Small Group, Mattis said, 'We're not going to do that. This will be done by the book, both legally and ethically.” https://taskandpurpose.com/…

  Cloud computing. Government procurement conspiracies. Revenge. For all of us in enterprise software, this is about as exciting as it gets. https://twitter.com/...

  In new book, top Mattis aide said the defense secretary said he'd rather “swallow acid” than see Trump's military parade, that Trump wanted to “screw” Amazon and that POTUS asked who really cared about Afghanistan. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

  Trump reportedly told former DefSec Mattis that he wanted to “screw” Amazon by denying huge Pentagon cloud computing contract, and that appears to be exactly what happened Friday night. https://www.politico.com/...

  Mattis's speechwriter says that Trump made clear his intention to “screw” Amazon by denying it the Pentagon contract. The decision to give the business to Microsoft—which has less experience than Amazon in handling classified data—reeks to high heaven. https://wapo.st/2JoIDqc

  Just to be clear: It appears that our corrupt president meddled in a military contract to punish the owner of a newspaper that criticized him and reported on his criminality and incompetence. Trump places his own, personal interest over national security. https://www.businessinsi…
