Trump asked voters in Pennsylvania to make him leader of a “failed nation” while also unleashing a profane, conspiracy-laden rant about the U.S. elections.
I actually always believed that Bezos was a Democrat, given his ownership of the Post, which has always had a clear anti-Trump message. I think it’s more plausible that he was scared of retaliation or that the GOP has something on him.
That’s a fair argument. It’s very circumstantial and not enough to convince me, though, especially if the Post was liberal before he bought it and it simply remained so through his inaction (which I believe to be the case – correct me if I’m wrong!). The rebuttal to “he must be liberal: he owns a liberal newspaper” is “yeah, but the first time he intervened in it, it was to force it to be more conservative.”
