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.

“Vicious” to the point of “rabid” merely allows anyone with 1/4 a brain to see the audaciousness of their evil more clearly.
I read President Trump's tweets here: http://www.headlineoftheday.com/tweets/
yeah, right.
This is what the Democrats have been doing to us for decades. I say FU to those establishment Repukes who whine about the president not showing proper “presidential” behavior. When you’re going up against people who are not only trying to personally destroy, but also destroy the nation for their own personal power and greed it’s time to take off the white gloves and BRAWL!
Bozo
Italian for clown.
I agree with you on this one.
Day late and a few dollars short, because the left offers them ‘salvation’ and virtue in this world, just support their causes, unlike those fuddy-duddy rightists and their Christianity.
If that were so his twitter following would go down
However
Trump Twitter following on 12/18/18 = 56,015,350
Trump Twitter Following on 1/19/19 = 56,746,185
Increase of 730,835 an Increase of 1.3%
In the same period Poccahantas increase was a modest 37,708 at 0.8%

And another nonTwitter user shows their ignorance
I’m just not a human-worshipper. I support and enjoy President Trump, but no, not every thing he does is admirable. Also, I was one of you überdefensemen for W Bush back in the day, and I was DEAD WRONG to pedestal him like the rest of this place did. I learn from my mistakes.
Bozo O’Rourke is not amused.
Typos ...should be Dec 1st to Jan 1st.
LOL, you mean more vicious than it already was!
It might be more accurate to postulate that his personal attacks might drive away some independents or undecideds.
Those of the "rabid opposition" are going to ride that Titanic right down until the stern disappears under the water!
The benefits reaped from Trump’s fighting spirit are vastly greater than any loss of support among the more emotional types.
Looking at that picture, not only does Bezos like fake news, he likes fake boobs, fake face....
I agree-—he could MUCH better pick his battles, he should pull out of all these personal Twitter battles using Syria as a model.
Why buy from Amazon?
They support abortion.
I supported GWB but his disinclination to stick up for himself and his policies drove me crazy.
I even have Photoshops of him I made with “Kick Me” signs on them. It made me nearly crazy to see him roll over.
That is why, even with some people who are offended, I am thrilled to see Trump punching back on issues, punching back on social issues, or just punching back and hitting the Left in the nose just for the sake of punching back and hitting them in the nose.
I am all for it. We are at war with the left. It isn’t a shooting war...yet...but it is a war nonetheless. And they aren’t playing by Queensbury Rules.
I say kick them in the nuts, and when they go down, kick them in the face while they are down, because they will do, and have done, exactly that to us.
Funny, but.. meh at this point.
“...Tweeting personal attacks will only make his rabid opposition even more vicious....”
So he should worry about people who already hate him no matter what???
Screw that. He’s in their heads and in their faces 24/7.
Been waiting a LONG time for a President who fights back. And he ENJOYS the brawl.
Sounds like your reporting from the anchor desk at CNN. Good job.
