Trump Just Sent Disgusting Tweet Mocking Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos for His Divorce
Donald Trump took to Twitter Sunday night to mock Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos who announced his attention to divorce earlier this week. Trump also gave Bezos a new nickname — “JEFF BOZO.”
Trump tweeted, “So sorry to hear the news about Jeff Bozo being taken down by a competitor whose reporting, I understand, is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper, the Amazon Washington Post. Hopefully the paper will soon be placed in better & more responsible hands!”

Bezos is also the world’s richest man, and is worth $135 Billion.
It’s pretty horrifying that Trump would call the National Enquirer a “competitor” to the Washington Post, since they aren’t even in the same league. It’s even more disgusting that Trump’s says the reporting in the Enquirer is more accurate that the Post.
David Pecker, the CEO of The National Enquirer’s parent company has long had a chummy relationship with Trump. Pecker even admitted that he paid $150,000 to Playboy model Karen McDougal in order to stop a story about Trump’s affair from coming out prior to the election.
New York Magazine has suggested the Enquirer’s investigation into Bezos may not just be a coincidence.
“The Enquirer clearly invested a lot in its takedown of Bezos, who, as the richest man in the world, is a fairly natural target for the tabloid,” the magazine wrote. “But it’s hard to imagine his position as a high-profile foil of President Trump’s didn’t factor into the Enquirer’s investment.
Twitter was horrified:
And Trump claims that reporters undermine White House decorum and seriousness?!

Completely tired and fed up with Trump and the Trump family bullying American citizens with whom they disagree. Trump makes immature, preschool style nicknames to bully reporters, actors and actresses, FBI agents, and just plain ordinary citizens.

The competitor he's referring to is the National Enquirer, which was known for "catch and kill" operations in support of Trump and which was implicated in the Cohen case in SDNY. https://t.co/Uc5FyvORin

Reminder: Trump and the "competitor" — the National Enquirer — conspired with one another to violate campaign finance laws. https://t.co/BTiTxe0VQO
