If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

In any other time or presidency, this story. reported by @WSJ, would be an earthquake of a scandal.
The size, scope and implications of it are unprecedented and mind-boggling.

Not a chance.
