The Next Chapter in the Amazon-Trump Reset
Summary
Jeff Bezos surprised many when he spoke of his hopes for President-elect Donald Trump’s return to power at the DealBook Summit last month. The duo’s reset took a new twist with Amazon’s announcement that it would release a documentary on Melania Trump shot by an outcast filmmaker, and more tumult at The Washington Post. But Bezos, like other business leaders, has been moving closer to the president-elect, and the decisions are inevitably being analyzed in that context. The documentary will be released this year on its Prime Video service and in theaters; filming began after the election. It’s another example of Trump’s MAGA movement’s career-rehabilitating powers, Semafor’s Ben Smith writes — and how tech platforms are willing to reject “progressive judgments on people and content.”
