White House calls Amazon ‘hostile’ for reportedly planning to list tariff costs

US press secretary criticizes e-commerce giant after report says company will inform customers how much tariffs will cost them

www.theguardian.com

Amazon is considering showing the trump tariffs as a seperate lineon your receipt.
The White House considers this to be a "hostile" action, presumably becauseit will show the cost of tariffs to consumers.
Should amazon be free to bill people honestly and accurately without big state interference ?

It's a great idea.

Once they show the cost of the tariff they are paying, it's simple math to calculate what they are paying for that product. If the tariff is 145%, and Amazon shows they pay $1.45 in tariff on an item, that means the item costs them $1.00.

If they're selling that item for $20.00, even a retard like you can figure out what their markup is.

Amazon is hostile to any business not their own.

And calling them "hostile is pretty funny after how hard Bzozs has been sucking up.

What exactly do you think Amazon's margins are? It's around 14%. So items that sell for $10 costs $8.60. Now they will cost $9.40 and you will pay $11 for the item with a nearly $1 tariff. Awesome.

If it costs $8.60 + 125% tariff = $19.35 cost = ~$22. You pay $10.75 + normal sales taxes just in tax.

I never said that. No wonder atrguments with you go on forever!

Poor Connie. It doesn’t even know what it said.

Makes it harder to blame Biden

Yet, the blame does belong to the denocrsts, not hard to see at all

 

[berg80]

When did any national retailer threaten to publish how much Biden's inflationary policies were adding to the cost of their goods? Did I miss that, Berg?

Only cucks like Karoline Leavitt, and those dumb enough to believe her, make those kinds of trumpian claims. Which Biden policy caused post-COVID inflation that happened around the world?

 

[marvin martian]

I don’t think they would show what the markup percentage is - just how much the tariff increased the price.

Old Price: $20.00
Tariff cost: $1.45
New Price: $21.45

Nice and simple.

You can try to spin that however you want. It’s not going to work.

Yes, retard, and if they paid $1.45 in tariff cost, and the tariff is 145%, how much did the item cost them?

Like I said, you're probably too dumb to do this simple math, but trust me, the rest of us aren't.

 

[berg80]

He messed with the pirate, he got the hook.

He's still trying to avoid becoming a target of the petulant tyrant with that crazy hairdo.

Great. So we’re both happy with this, right?

The rules of capitalism dictates that companies do whatever the must to maintain profit.

So no, Amazon is not hostile to the USA or any other country, they're just engaging in good ole Capitalism.

Yee haw!!!!

Amazing the kind of billionaires that Democrats see as victims.

 

[IDIOCRACY]

Don seems to be quite exercised about Amazon planning to reveal the cost of his tariff policies in black and white for consumers to see. Ouch. Perhaps Bezos is done kissing the royal butt.

White House blasts Amazon over tariff cost report: ‘Hostile and political act’​

The White House on Tuesday slammed Amazon for reportedly planning to display the cost of President Donald Trump’s tariffs next to the total price of products on its site.

“This is hostile and political act by Amazon,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press briefing.

If they lie about the numbers, leave shit off for political endeavors, then yeah, its a big problem. I'm no const. Expert, do corp. Have that right? Why is bozos hiding? He's free to say what he wants, just fucking do it or stfu already.

One by one those countries are negotiating new trade deals that are better for the US. So why is that a bad thing, Winger? China will be forced to do the same thing or there will be an uprising over there. So what are you going to do when Trump's tariffs do exactly what he said they would? Apologize?

Where are all those “deals”?

What makes you think we will be better off replacing free trade with Trumps deals?

The consumer will pay

 

[Man With A Plan]

MAGA lies about the reasons to mask their fascistic tendencies.

The left has brought 220 lawsuits against the Trump Administration in it's first 100 days, Konradv. Would you like to amend your answer? Or are you going to continue to mislead?

It's not "free trade" when other countries put high tariffs on US goods, Winger! Do you not understand what a "reciprocal" tariff is?

 

[Man With A Plan]

Only cucks like Karoline Leavitt, and those dumb enough to believe her, make those kinds of trumpian claims. Which Biden policy caused post-COVID inflation that happened around the world?

Multiple Biden economic policies caused record breaking inflation, Berg. Did you somehow miss that? I take it they weren't covering that at MSNBC or CNN? What a shock...

Do you want to ask an adult about that ?

 

[Arresmillao]

Yes we have. Barry Soetoro and Dementia *Joe just to name a few.

"ignorance is an enemy, even for those who own it" magaturds are a joke...

Yee haw!!!!

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.

The judiciary has to be the bulwark of democracy, since the legislature has conceded. Don’t try your fascist gaslighting on me. The floodlights are coming on and we’re going to start seeing the cockroaches scatter.
