Jeff Bezos says Trump is ‘more mature, more disciplined’ in second term
Bezos said Trump is more disciplined in his second term while defending Amazon deals and donations that have drawn scrutiny from critics.
- Amazon founder Jeff Bezos praised President Donald Trump's approach to his second term, describing him as a "more mature, more disciplined version of himself" compared to his first administration.
- Speaking during a CNBC interview on Wednesday morning, Bezos told host Andrew Ross Sorkin that Trump "has lots of good ideas" and has "been right about a lot of things," adding that business leaders should ultimately be "on the side of America."
- The comments build on a distinct shift in Bezos's public stance toward Trump, echoing remarks from late 2024 when he characterized the president as "calmer, more confident, and more settled" while expressing optimism regarding the administration's deregulatory goals.
- Bezos also flatly denied speculation that he produces content to placate the White House, specifically dismissing rumors that he had personal involvement in securing Amazon Prime's streaming deal for the recent Melania Trump documentary, calling the narrative a "falsehood that will not die."
- The interview drew sharp criticism from media watchdogs and political commentators, who pointed out that Bezos’s praise comes amid intense public scrutiny over the administration's tariff policies, a multi-billion dollar domestic restitution fund, and ongoing geopolitical tensions with Iran.
