A forthcoming book by New York Times journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman claims Jeff Bezos described The Washington Post as his 'worst investment' during a private dinner with Donald Trump in December 2024, more than a year before sweeping layoffs reshaped the newspaper.
According to excerpts from Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, Bezos expressed frustration over the newspaper's financial performance and the people responsible for its business operations. The reported remarks offer a rare glimpse into Bezos' private views on a publication he purchased in 2013 with ambitions of transforming its future in the digital era.
