If Donald Trump doesn’t become President of the United States, maybe he can begin his own colony in outer space. That’s Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos’ plan, anyway.
Bezos finds himself in a bit of a beef with The Donald, and is saving him a seat on the Blue Origin rocket. The Washington Post owner since 2013 made the offer in his fourth-ever tweet, which is posted below and includes the hashtag #sendDonaldtospace.
Trump railed against Bezos on the same social media platform first, likely in response to an opinion piece published in the paper on Monday, titled “Donald Trump is the Gamergate of Republican politics.”
Here’s Bezos’ offer:
Finally trashed by @realDonaldTrump. Will still reserve him a seat on the Blue Origin rocket. #sendDonaldtospacehttps://t.co/9OypFoxZk3

And here are Trump’s tweets that prompted the reply:
.@washingtonpost is going out of its way to tell failing candidates how to beat Donald Trump.The Post doesn’t get that I’m good at winning!

If @amazon ever had to pay fair taxes, its stock would crash and it would crumble like a paper bag. The @washingtonpost scam is saving it!

The @washingtonpost loses money (a deduction) and gives owner @JeffBezos power to screw public on low taxation of @Amazon! Big tax shelter — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
The @washingtonpost, which loses a fortune, is owned by @JeffBezos for purposes of keeping taxes down at his no profit company, @amazon. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2015
