Washington Post
The Washington Post is a major American daily newspaper published in Washington, D.C. It is the most widely circulated newspaper in the Washington metropolitan area and widely read around the country. The newspaper has won 47 Pulitzer Prizes. It employs around 800 journalists and had a 2015 daily circulation of 356,768. Its digital circulation was 1,000,000 in 2018.
Jeff Bezos bought the paper in 2013. Tensions between he and the newsroon have continued; in 2024 and 2025, multiple personnel resigned over the paper's non-endorsement of Kamala Harris and editorial changes advanced by Bezos.
President Trump’s opponents typically treat him as a clown, a fool and a garden-variety bigot. They only occasionally pay enough attention — usually when he praises some foreign dictator — to the side of him that relishes autocracy and undercurrents of violence.
He really doesn’t seem to believe in democracy very much. For him, politics is always a clash between power on one side and power on the other. The institutions we have created to mediate conflicts matter not a whit.
There should be no more minimizing this side of Trump after the interview the president gave to Breitbart last week, in which he suggested a willingness on the part of his enthusiasts to resort to force against his enemies on “the left.”
