Some people are very worried about the coming Trump administration.
Jeff Bezos is not one of them.
Or, more accurately, the world's second-richest man says he's not worried about Trump 2.0, even though Trump has singled him out in the past. And Bezos says he could be a Trump ally because he wants to help the next president cut red tape.
"I'm actually very optimistic this time around," he said at The New York Times's DealBook conference on Wednesday. "I'm very hopeful. He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation. And my point of view [is], if I can help him do that, I'm going to help him. Because we do have too much regulation in this country."
Bezos also took pains to paint Trump as someone who evolved over the past few years.
"What I've seen so far is that he is calmer than he was first time," he told interviewer Andrew Ross Sorkin. "More confident, more settled."
Bezos joins a line of business leaders — including many of his peers in tech — who have gone out of their way to say nice things about Trump in public following his election win. It's a marked contrast from the reception Trump got after his first successful election.
It's possible Bezos really does feel good about Trump's second term. "I've had a lot of success in life not being cynical," he said Wednesday.
On the other hand, Bezos would certainly be happier if he didn't have to spend the next four years worried about problems Trump could pose for many of his interests. That includes Amazon, which he no longer runs day-to-day but still accounts for the overwhelming majority of his net worth; Blue Origin, his rocket company that competes with Trump ally Elon Musk's SpaceX;

bezos just doesn’t want his amazon monopoly broken up ... period ...
That Elon Musk dude is really, really smart.
will Mark Cuban be next?? LOL!!
Jeff finally figured out which way the wind is blowing.
Blow it out your Obama, Jeffy.
NO, and HELL NO!
Not everyone is as dumb as Joy Reid and Whoopi Goldberg.
No escuches, pres Trump-es una trampa-Bezos is not trustworthy in the least...
Maybe Jane Fonda will want a job in the Veterans Administration, too.
I can’t recall if Bezos is a front for the CIA, NSA or something else such as ‘Five Eyes’, but he is just another DS facade, a confection ….
The world’s richest person, not on paper or stock options but in real tangible personal wealth isn’t Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, it’s Kim Jong Un. He owns an entire medium sized country in East Asia, every person in it, and every blade of grass. No other despot or dictator claims or holds such absolute dominion. Worth trillions at fair market value.
Trump is a minor leaguer financially compared to Bezos, Musk, Gates, etc. Musk helped with X when needed, and he seems to call his own tune. It is good that a guy like that who makes his billions largely through genius has a role (yes, I know about the gov. subsidies ... not his idea). You don’t want the executive branch overrun with them, especially the ones who are primarily protecting their own financial interests and only jump on board AFTER Trump wins.
Uhhh .... Jeff ...
May I call you Jeff?
You own this putrid little leftist blog called the Washington Post. You want to be Trump’s ally? How about turning your little blog into an absolute paragon of honest, objective, intelligent journalism? You’d probably have to fire the entire staff of writers and editors ... and replace them with intelligent people who studied and are legitimate experts in the various subject they report on ...
But you’re a smart man, Jeff.
I know you can do it.
Jeff, what your company did to Parker is not something I will forget.
You should have that done to you and your business.
Bezos is CIA Deepstate Tool.
Parler, that is.
Success has many friends. His past critics … from media to business are coming crawling to him.
Yeah I bet Putin isn’t too poor as well...
