eff Bezos shared his thoughts on Donald Trump during a recent CNBC interview, describing the president as “more mature” and “more disciplined” compared to his first term in office.
Speaking about Trump’s leadership more than a year into his second presidency, Bezos said: “I think he’s a more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term.”
The Amazon founder added that he has worked with multiple US administrations over the years and believes business leaders should continue engaging with governments regardless of political differences.
“We need our business leaders to provide input into the administration regardless of who the president is,” Bezos said during the interview.
‘Trump has lots of good ideas’
Bezos also defended some of Trump’s policies and ideas, saying the president deserved credit in certain areas.
“I’m on the side of America,” Bezos said, before adding: “Trump has lots of good ideas. He’s been right about a lot of things. You have to give him credit where credit is due.”
The remarks gained traction online, with social media users debating whether Bezos genuinely supported Trump or was attempting to maintain a cordial relationship with the administration.

Social media backlash
The comments sparked backlash online, with several users accusing Bezos of being overly complimentary toward the president.
George Conway, the former husband of longtime Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, mocked Bezos’ remarks on social media. “You’d think that someone this rich wouldn’t feel the need to lie for money. But you’d be wrong,” Conway wrote.
Other users suggested Bezos’ praise reflected concerns among corporate leaders about remaining in Trump’s “good graces.” Some pointed to the influence the federal government can have over large corporations through investigations, regulations and licensing decisions.
A separate group of online commenters focused on Bezos’ facial expressions during the CNBC interview, claiming he appeared to smile or grin while praising Trump.
Critics interpreted the moment differently, with some suggesting it hinted at discomfort or sarcasm.

Who cares what he thinks. How many America hating Commie Libtards has he helped get elected to office?
Trump has a much better set of individuals around him now to assist him.
Didn’t George Conway admit he’s a pedophile?
I wonder did Bezos ever share any opinions about that installed dementia carcass? Who needed a babysitter to keep him from wandering lost off the tarmac in a gaited shuffle, or what about his sleazy immature drug addled corrupt co-President son?
Did he? When did that happen?
