Such is the power of Trump's tweets.

The move isn't life threatening for Amazon, which is still worth in excess of $460 billion. It does, however, highlight growing concern that Trump may be willing to target Amazon, which has already stirred rumblings about the need for greater regulation to limit the company's growing power.

Amazon began to draw Trump's ire in late 2015 due to CEO Jeff Bezos's ownership of the Washington Post, which aggressively reported on the Trump campaign.

Trump went after Bezos, claiming that his ownership of the Postwas so that he could reduce Amazon taxes. This wouldn't work, since the Postand Amazon are two entirely separate companies.

Trump's latest tweet on Wednesday appears to have been spurred by a Washington Posteditorial published Tuesday night entitled "The nation can only weep," which calls out Trump's response after Charlottesville.

"That car in Charlottesville did not kill or wound just the 20 bodies it struck. It damaged the nation. Mr. Trump not only failed to help the country heal; he made the wound wider and deeper," the Posteditorial wrote.
