Trump's 2018 postal rate threats vaporized $35B from Amazon's value—then he dined with Bezos at Mar-a-Lago last December. The mogul who called Epstein "terrific" now trades regulatory vengeance for media compliance.
The same admin that blocked Bezos's $10B Pentagon contract in 2019 (retaliation for Post coverage) now accepts his $1M inaugural check. Bezos gutted the Post's editorial independence: killing endorsements, imposing "Trumpian themes," & purging dissent. Staff quit, subscriptions plunged—but Amazon's JEDI lawsuit vanished post-election.
When billionaires barter press freedom for tax breaks, democracy becomes a luxury even Bezos can't Prime.
