Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder and owner of The Washington Post, wasted no time posting a rare message congratulating President Donald Trump on his re-election—a notable move since Bezos has only posted on X twice this year, with both posts showing support for the former president. In his recent message, Bezos lauded Trump's achievement, writing, "Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory," according to The Cut.
His comments follow the controversial announcement that The Washington Post would abstain from endorsing any presidential candidate for the first time in over three decades, a decision that prompted substantial backlash. Per reports from NPR, the endorsement-free stance led over 200,000 readers—about 8 percent of the publication's subscriber base—to cancel their subscriptions.
