Jeff Bezos Willing to Work With Trump to Remove Regulatory Barriers: ‘We Need a Growth Orientation in This Country’
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said he's willing to work with Donald Trump to dismantle government regulations that hinder economic growth.
Bezos also addressed the major backlash he stirred among Washington Post readers when he decreed — less than two weeks before the U.S. presidential election — that the newspaper would not endorse a candidate this year. Former Washington Post editor Marty Baron had called the non-endorsement “cowardice, with democracy as its casualty.” Bezos commented that the decision “was far from cowardly because we knew there would be blowback, and we did it anyway.” I’m like the doting parent in that regard.” Bezos had previously written in a Washington Post op-ed that he was aiming to restore consumers’ trust in the paper by eliminating the practice of political endorsements, which he said “create the perception of bias.”
