Amazon’s Jeff Bezos Has a Bit of Fun With Donald Trump

Amazon.com Inc.'s Echo, a voice-activated speaker that plays music, answers questions and controls other hardware, now has a new skill: mocking Donald Trump.

Well, only mildly. Tell Alexa, the virtual assistant software that powers Echo, "Alexa, send Donald Trump to space," and the machine responds with, "I think Jeff Bezos reserved him a seat on his Blue Origin rocket." The new feature was included in a series of updates to Echo that added news sources to help users follow the U.S. presidential campaign.
