Donald Trump and Jeff Bezos inhabit very different worlds. The president is a staunch bricks-and-mortar man who made his fortune building towers and dealing with blue-collar workers.

Four times over the past week, the president has criticized Bezos for running a company that he says fails to pay its share of taxes, for taking undue advantage of the struggling U.S.
