Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos has taken on a unique responsibility – convincing President-elect Trump that the media is not his enemy. In a recent interview at the New York Times DealBook Summit, Bezos stated he aims to persuade Trump that the press is “not the enemy.”
Bezos observed a change in Trump’s demeanor during their interactions, noting that the president appears “calmer” and more confident than during his first campaign. The billionaire expressed optimism about Trump’s second term, citing his focus on deregulation. Bezos defended his decision to pull an editorial endorsement for Vice President Harris from publication by the Washington Post, stating it was done to maintain media trust.
Bezos’ comments come amid controversy surrounding his business interests and potential influence over his editorial decisions.
