President Trump on Sunday encouraged Washington Post employees to go on strike, saying the move would mean getting rid of “Fake News for an extended period of time.”
“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 tweeted, referencing Jeff Bezos, the Post’s owner and CEO of Amazon. “Employees would get more money and we would get rid of Fake News for an extended period of time!”
He also renewed his previous inaccurate claim that the Post is a “registered lobbyist.”
