The dollars and cents of tariffs.


"Trump calls Bezos as Amazon says no plan to show tariff price rises"

"
US President Donald Trump has called Amazon founder Jeff Bezos after it was reported that the retail giant planned to detail the cost of trade tariffs to its customers.

Amazon said it had looked into itemising the impact for shoppers using Amazon Haul, a low-cost site it launched in the US last year to compete with Shein and Temu.

But it said it had decided not to move forward and the idea had never been under consideration for its main platform.

The White House decision to go on the attack over the report is an indication of the pressure it is facing over its new import taxes, which analysts say will lead to higher prices for consumers and increase the chances of a recession.
At a news conference marking the president's first 100 days in office on Tuesday, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she had discussed Amazon's reported move with the president and argued it represented "another reason why Americans should buy American".

"This is a hostile and political act by Amazon," she said. "Why didn't Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?""

Apparently it's a "hostile.... act" for Amazon to tell customers how much more they have to pay for their products as a direct result of Trump's policy.

Wow, this man is fragile, he literally can't cope with people understanding about his policies. Can't be very confident in his own policies then...

LOL, liberal media having a hissy fit over Amazon backtracking...struggling to spin their fake news TDS
 
The end goal is having the system work the way it's been designed to work for decades upon decades! Where was it ever intended that low level local judges could overrule a President's agenda for political reasons? The answer to that is that it was NEVER intended to work that way! The left has perverted our legal system.
The only perversion I see is the administration’s pervasive fascism.

It's amazing how every Trump supporter on here has only one thing to say, and that's like what you said. Nothing really, just "oh, the media is having a hissy fit" "oh, they just don't like him" "TDS"

How fucking childish do you people get?

You ignore the things that are FUCKING YOUR WORLD UP, and you even cheer your own fucking demise.

Oh god...we're back to "fascism" again? For just once I'd like to see a far left person who doesn't have to trot out some kind of "...ism" to justify why they don't like Trump! Trump isn't a fascist. He isn't a sexist. He isn't a racist.
 
Trump has reacted badly to this. Even threatening the postal service. Surely folk would welcome paying tariffs that will finance the US ? Americans arent going to quibble over a few dollars.
Why would Mr. Trump be reacting badly to this, is he some kinda anti-Capilast pinko Commie or something?!??
 
I have prime but WalMart is a good place to shop and buy on line... they seem to be able to get almost everything Amazon can and its here in two days...

Knock yourself out, Konradv! In case you haven't been paying attention? Nobody is paying attention to the whole "Nazi", "fascist", "racist" bullshit anymore! They know it's crap. They know that you on the left resort to name calling because your liberal agenda has failed so epically!
 
My, my, my, you have no idea at all what this means.

Trump, as always , hates facts that contradict him, as they almost always do.
Yeah. Though I think it's just simple deflection, we don't have to like Amazon to know that Trump telling them to shut up is because he knows his policy is rubbish.

Judges make sure the law is being followed.

That is what they do.

And once again you are gaslighting yourself.
