Trump mocks Amazon's Bezos as 'Jeff Bozo'

President Trump on Sunday night mocked Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos as "Jeff Bozo" in a tweet slamming The Washington Post, which Bezos owns.

"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," Trump tweeted. "Hopefully the paper will soon be placed in better & more responsible hands!"

Trump's tweets came shortly after The National Enquirer came out with the latest in a series of articles about Bezos's divorce from his wife of 25 years.

American Media Inc., the parent company of the National Enquirer, is controlled by Trump's longtime friend David Pecker.

American Media, Inc. in December admitted that it paid $150,000 to a woman "in concert with" Trump's campaign "in order to ensure that the woman did not publicize damaging allegations about the candidate before the 2016 presidential election." The company agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors.

Trump last week wished Bezos "luck" on his divorce.

"It’s going to be a beauty," Trump added.

The president regularly antagonizes Bezos, criticizing both Amazon and the Post. He has multiple times suggested that the paper lobbies for Amazon.

Screw people on the fence, if you’re still on the fence at this point, you’re useless.

Back when the ‘fence sitters’ were called ‘middle of the roaders’ Rush L used to quip:

Being in the middle of the road makes it possible to get run over from EITHER side.....(close but general drift there...)

Nope. I was flamed many, many times for complaining about W not defending himself, the troops, or his supporters.

Go lockstep or get poo flung at you.

“Tweeting personal attacks will only make his rabid opposition even more vicious.”

BS. It couldn’t be more vicious.

Every time I see a picture of Jeff Bezos, this is what comes to my mind.

He's no Oliver Warbucks.

That’s the whole point. This is straight from Sun Tzu’s Art of War.

I agree. Not a good use of his bully pulpit if true. Jeff Bezos is not an issue of national or presidential importance. Also, trying to belittle or denigrate people by calling them names is grade school stuff that can readily backfire on you.

youre still not a Twitter user. I know this because you are responding to a single tweet the president made and not the half a dozen that he did make

As if the very THOUGHT of the Washington Post being anything other than fair and utterly objective is simple lunacy.

Uh, huh.

“....the president could actually win over some faint-hearted voters by better choosing his battles.”

LOL! Do you know any faint-hearted voters who have been won over by President Trump?

No. He wins over strong, independent thinking voters - and he does it by calling out Leftists for their divisive race-baiting nonsense - just as he is doing with Pocahontas in this artful tweet.

Faint-hearted voters won’t have the moral courage it takes to support a truth teller like President Trump - but by exposing her shameful pandering with his tweets, he may well embarrass them into turning their backs on Pocahontas when the time comes. That’s what faint-hearted voters do.

Trump ought not to make fun of a billionaire abandoning his wife to take up with a mistress. There are plenty of other reasons to take on Jeff Bezos and the WaPo. Trump should pick his fights more carefully.

LOL, childish name-calling seems to beget more name-calling, which is a really stupid thing to do to other Trump supporters. Do you write on bathroom walls too?

The way I read the Tweet, he wasn’t making fun of Bezos’ love life. It had to do with his publications.

But at times well... he has a lack of decorum. And he could win over even more people "on the fence" if he channeled more of the statesman that we know he can be and is.

Jeb! had decorum. I'd even use the word "statesman" to describe his brother and father.

Lot of good that did.

I like this brawler from Queens. He makes it fun.
