If you were Jeff Bezos of Amazon, how would you handle the Idiot in the White House ?
Stay quiet ? Come out fighting hard ? Nuanced polite statement ?

I don't know quite what I'd do.
eta:
In 2015, shortly after Mr. Trump started his attacks against the company, Mr. Bezos joked on Twitter about sending the candidate into space on a rocket made by Blue Origin, a space exploration start-up Mr. Bezos owns.

But since Mr. Trump became president, Mr. Bezos and Amazon have become much quieter about his attacks. The company has refused to comment publicly about them. People who work there say privately that, while they do not enjoy Mr. Trumps tweets, they are more likely to prompt eye rolling rather than some form of crisis control.

The real reasons behind this attack will come out. They can't help themselves.
If you look here Parscale is already stumbling over the truth vs their spin.

Trump has limited attention span. If someone does not spar or engage with him, he just moves on to the next target.
