Amazon founder Jeff Bezos expressed optimism towards US President-elect Trump at an event on Wednesday, hoping the incoming government will have a more friendly regulatory environment. Bezos said: "In fact, this time I am very optimistic. He seems very enthusiastic about reducing regulations. If I can help, I will help him." Bezos and Trump's relationship has not been smooth in the past, but before this year's election, Bezos changed his tone when talking about Trump, and congratulated him immediately after the election. Bezos said on Wednesday that Trump seems calmer, more confident, and more stable compared to his first term, "You may have grown in the past eight years. So has he." (Global Market Report)
