Trump commiserates with 'Jeff Bozo' about his $140bn divorce after his 'affair' was revealed in magazine owned by president's one-time ally David Pecker - and says he hopes the Amazon boss loses the Washington Post
- Trump continuing a stream of tweets on Sunday took time out to jab at Jeff Bezos over the collapse of his marriage likely sparked by a National Enquirer story
- Trump also hoped that the Washington Post 'will soon be placed in better & more responsible hands!'
- The Enquirer claims its photographers caught Bezos and his paramour, Lauren Sanchez, together 'no fewer than six times in 14 days'
Trump took to Twitter to take a swipe at billionaire nemesis Jeff Bezos after the National Enquirer, run by one-time Trump ally, David Pecker published its bombshell report of Bezos' split with his wife.
'So sorry to hear the news about Jeff Bozo being taken down by a competitor whose reporting,' the President sarcastically tweeted purposefully misspelling Bezos' name.
'I understand, is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper, the Amazon Washington Post,' Trump added with, this time jabbing at the news outlet owned by Bezos. 'Hopefully the paper will soon be placed in better & more responsible hands!'
Trump has been particularly critical of The Washington Post in its coverage of his administration, and Jeff Bezos has often been the target on Twitter about what he considers to be unfair coverage.

The Enquirer says its photographer caught the lovebirds 'doing the dirty on their spouses together no fewer than six times in 14 days' in an investigation it calls the 'largest investigation' in the magazine's history.
Enquirer boss Pecker was part of a plan with Trump and his lawyer Michael Cohen to 'bury' negative stories about Trump, and Pecker ended up cooperating with investigators.
Cohen and Pecker have each admitted to the scheme to have AMI pay $150,000 to Playboy model Karen McDougal who was shopping a story about an affair with Trump before the 2016 election.
While Trump explicitly called out his former lawyer Cohen as a 'rat,' he' has largely been quiet about Pecker until praising his publication without naming his old collaborator.
This is also the first time Trump directly addressed his rival's divorce scandal since a brief response to reporters three days ago after the National Enquirer's upcoming story came to light.
'Well, I wish him luck. I wish him luck,' Trump said about the divorce. 'It's going to be a beauty.'
