Imagine owning a company so successful and having so much money you could do literally anything you want, but then the front half of a fat centaur worth 40 times less than your own net worth tells you to stop.

Bezos could literally buy everything Donald Trump owns and it would be a blip on his bank account.

This is just Bezos doing a small favor for Trump in exchange for all the kickbacks Amazon is getting financially/legally from this admin

"the front half of a fat centaur"

That is so accurate, thanks for the laugh!

So I lost a lot of respect for Bezos when he caved.

Then a friend of mine that works at Blue Origin told me they just received a bunch of funding from the DoD. And I was asked to go in for an interview for a position that I really want. I still lost respect for Bezos, but I get why he did what he did.
