Jeff Bezos praised President Donald Trump during a CNBC interview, comparing him to Trump’s first term. Bezos said Trump is more mature and more disciplined than before. Bezos emphasized that he has worked with multiple presidents and intends to work with future presidents as well. He argued that business leaders should provide input into the administration regardless of who leads it. Bezos said he is on the side of America and that business leaders can be perceived as partisan even when they support different presidents. He also said Trump has had good ideas and has been right about some things, deserving credit where due.
"I'm comparing him to his first term, and I think he is a more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term. Again, I've worked with all the presidents, I will work with all the presidents, you know, and I hope to do that going forward if they'll have me, but we need our business leaders to provide input into the administration, regardless of who the president is."
"I'm not on the side you know what, I'm on the side of America, and that is so important. Like, and that's where business leaders should be, he continued. I think we are, but we get perceived as being like, you know, partisan or whatever. Like, I was helping Obama every chance I could. I was helping Biden every chance I could. I still call Obama for advice. He's a very smart guy."
"Trump has thought some good ideas, and he has done a lot he's been right about a lot of things, and you have to give him credit where credit is due."
