Actually, only one of these companies has had its CEO personally attacked by the president.

It's all just business, as is this case.

Trump attacked Amazon because of business; he seems to think Amazon is profiting from the US taxpayers' money.

Now Amazon has a strong financial incentive to go to court in this case as winning can lead to potentially securing a 10b$ contract. Whereas losing costs maybe some millions?

Both Bezos and Trump are very pragmatic business men. I think this is all just about money.

If you really thing Trump dislikes Bezos because of "profiting from the US taxpayer" instead of "owning The Washington Post", I don't even know what to say.

Ironic that it's the white guy that got attacked though, isn't it?
