President Donald Trump has stated his support for hundreds of Washington Post employees in their labor dispute against the paper’s billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, and criticized the newspaper.
“Washington Post employees want to go on strike because Bezos isn’t paying them enough. I think a really long strike would be a great idea,” Trump wrote on Twitter on June 17. “Employees would get more money and we would get rid of Fake News for an extended period of time! Is @WaPo a registered lobbyist?”
