Trump: WaPo Is Almost as Bad as the NYT; Bezos Uses WaPo as His Lobbyist

RUSH EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “I had a conversation like every president does. I do it with all countries. We had a great conversation. We were talking about Israel and securing Israel and lots of other things. And it was a great conversation. If I’m not keeping anything under wraps, I couldn’t care less. I mean, it’s so ridiculous. These people make it up. Washington Post, that’s basically the lobbyist for Amazon. You know, he uses that — bezos has got bigger problems than anybody right now.
[Laughter]
But bezos uses that as his lobbyist, okay? As far as I’m concerned. And “The Washington Post” is almost as bad or probably as bad as “The New York Times.” Think of it, I have a one-on-one meeting with Putin like I do with every other leader. I have many one-on-one — nobody ever says anything about it. But with Putin they say, oh, what did they talk about? We talked about very positive things because, look, we are beating everybody. Our economy is the strongest in the world right now. Nobody even close. China’s down 38 president. Russia’s not doing well, its economy. We’re doing phenomenally. Even though we’re paying interest rates because we’re normalizing, you know? Obama had zero or interest. Anybody can do that. And our economy’s now better than ever.”
