President Trump on Sunday night mocked Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos as "Jeff Bozo" in a tweet slamming The Washington Post, which Bezos owns.

"So sorry to hear the news about Jeff Bozo being taken down by a competitor whose reporting, I understand, is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper, the Amazon Washington Post," Trump tweeted. "Hopefully the paper will soon be placed in better & more responsible hands!"

Trump's tweets came shortly after The National Enquirer came out with the latest in a series of articles about Bezos's divorce from his wife of 25 years.

American Media Inc., the parent company of the National Enquirer, is controlled by Trump's longtime friend David Pecker.

American Media, Inc. in December admitted that it paid $150,000 to a woman "in concert with" Trump's campaign "in order to ensure that the woman did not publicize damaging allegations about the candidate before the 2016 presidential election." The company agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors.

Trump last week wished Bezos "luck" on his divorce.

"It’s going to be a beauty," Trump added.

The president regularly antagonizes Bezos, criticizing both Amazon and the Post. He has multiple times suggested that the paper lobbies for Amazon.

I love this from our President.

Mike Pence couldn’t find it in himself to fight back.

Hey. Trump stole my nickname for Bozos. That’s ok Mr. President. Anytime.

And all he has to say “it was a typo or damn auto correct!” He may not be the greatest president ever, but he’ll do. MAGA

U should all see the new tweet that President Trump just tweeted out..I have a feeling he's pretty bored in the White House right now LOL: Donald J. Trump ‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 12m12 minutes ago If Elizabeth Warren, often referred to by me as Pocahontas, did this commercial from Bighorn or Wounded Knee instead of her kitchen, with her husband dressed in full Indian garb, it would have been a smash! Donald J. Trump ‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 2m2 minutes ago Best line in the Elizabeth Warren beer catastrophe is, to her husband, “Thank you for being here. I’m glad you’re here” It’s their house, he’s supposed to be there!

In this instance I disagree. The tweet about Bozo was unnecessary, and the president could actually win over some faint-hearted voters by better choosing his battles.

[FreedomPoster]

I’ve been saying the same thing for a couple years now.

[dfwgator]

Meh, whatever.

You should run for President. You know more about it than Trump.

Bezos, the wanker. What kind of flipping idiot acts like that!? Sending dick pic’s, cheating with a married woman being married himself.
Just an utter disgrace of a man. Sure, he is rich, but you can’t take it with you. I’d rather be poor and have integrity.

[Jeff Chandler]

You know more about it than Trump.

PRESIDENT Trump.

[dfwgator]

The big surprise is that it was to a woman. I long suspected Bezos played for the other team.

best laugh i’ve had all day!
