President Trump said in an interview with The Spectator that he had dinner Wednesday night with Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos. Why it matters: The dinner between Trump and Bezos happened the night Bezos announced changes to the Washington Post opinion section.

Trump says he dined with Jeff Bezos hours after dramatic change to Washington Post opinion section - Before apparently meeting Trump for dinner on Wednesday evening, Jeff Bezos sparked outrage among Washington Post journalists and readers when he announced that the paper’s opinion section will focus on “free markets” and “personal liberties” moving forward.

Bezos announced Wednesday that the Post's opinion section would focus on "personal liberties and free markets." Trump says they had dinner that night.

Jeff Bezos knocked a yet another hole in the Washington Post's finances this week, as the paper has lost 75,000 digital subscriptions in the 2 days since the billionaire commanded its opinion section to exclusively promote his right wing views.
