Sorry, Donald Trump: Amazon Dominates, But It's No Monopoly

During his campaign for president, Donald Trump claimed Amazon was a monopoly he would go after for anti-trust violations if elected. Sure, Trump didn't like the coverage he was receiving in the Washington Post, which Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos owns. But even just judging by the latest holiday sales numbers, Amazon so decisively dominates online shopping that other retail giants can barely compete. If Trump decided to make good on his promise, should Bezos be worried? Amazon's dominance is just that: a company outdoing the competition in capitalism's grand tradition. If success alone were against the law, then yes.
