The truth about the ugly bromance battle between Trump and Bezos

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Trump, suitably soothed, said later that afternoon that Bezos 'solved the problem very quickly' and 'did the right thing', adding: 'He's a good guy.
64% : Super excited about the possibilities; this could be the innovation administration,' he said, as Trump went around the table asking some of the most famous men in human history to introduce themselves.
56% : boasted Donald Trump, hours after dining with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
55% : 'Bezos and Trump are very different in their approaches, but they both understand the power of decisive action,' said Anderson.
54% : Trump ignored Bezos's advice on vice presidents, but the olive branch was well received.
49% : 'People are jealous of you.' Fast-forward to June 2024 and Sanchez struck up a friendship with Ivanka Trump, 43, after they both attended Kim Kardashian's birthday party in Beverly Hills.
40% : But for richer or poorer, will President Trump show up?
39% : Here, he is pictured speaking with Trump (left) and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (center).
29% : 'The @washingtonpost, which loses a fortune, is owned by @JeffBezos for purposes of keeping taxes down at his no profit company, @amazon,' Trump tweeted in December 2015.
29% : In July 2017, when Anthony Scaramucci was appointed White House director of communications, Trump allegedly called him into the Oval Office and asked point blank: 'Can we break up Amazon?
26% : Steve Anderson, author of 'The Bezos Letters,' said it was unlikely for Trump to attend the lovebirds' wedding.
24% : During the 2016 presidential election, despite Bezos's insistence that he was not involved in the editorial decisions of the paper, Trump refused to accept that he could be so detached and held Bezos personally responsible for their aggressive reporting.
1% : I hate this son of a b***h Jeff Bezos and I hate the Washington Post.' The following year Trump scapegoated Amazon for the postal service's faltering finances, and when Bezos's affair with Sanchez was revealed in January 2019 in the National Enquirer, Trump gleefully mocked 'Jeff Bozo.' Perhaps, Bezos breathed a sigh of relief as Trump grudgingly departed Washington after the 2020 election.
