trump raged on twitter that Amazon had an unfair advantage over brick & mortar stores because they don't pay sales tax on most internet sales (Amazon collects & remits on their direct sales, in all 45 states that have a sales tax.) Amazon doesn't collect on 3rd part, unless the seller has nexus - that's not Amazon's responsibility.
The article stated that trump's internet store only collects tax in TWO states:
"The TrumpStore.com website sells Trump-labeled glassware, baseball caps, luggage tags, spa slippers and key chains, among several other items. It collects sales tax only on orders shipped to buyers in Florida and Louisiana, according to the company’s own website, The Wall Street Journal was the first to point out on Friday."
