Q: "Amazon will soon display...how much the Trump tariffs are adding to the cost of each product. Isn't that a perfect, crystal clear demonstration that it's the American consumer....who is going to pay for these?"

Leavitt: "This is a hostile and political act by Amazon."

No. This is a large company making information available to help their customers decide, so they don't leave and go elsewhere. Wouldn't expect ANYONE in this administration to understand that.

Will Amazon actually implement this policy of transparency and be punished? Or will they capitulate, apologize to Trump and pay him some more money? Curious minds want to know.

They will capitulate and Jeff will buy a bunch of Trump’s crypto bribery coin.

drew-f.bsky.social•29 days ago

And… done. Amazon has announced they are not doing this.

"What? You thought we were serious?"

knoxmc.bsky.social•29 days ago

Amazon has already changed its tune, claiming it had never considered it. Right.

juanrive.bsky.social•29 days ago

They should name it “Liberation bonus”, don’t they claim it’s wonderful?

President Trump stopping Amazon from doing this is irrefutable evidence of his forethought & malice 2illegally tax Americans & businesses w/Tariffs, lie &cover it up! But it’s part of his Master vengeance plan, to DESTROY middle class Americans who didn’t vote 4him in 2020 & nearly cost him 2024!

lolololololol perfect!

I thought the White House was proud of the “big beautiful tariffs”! What changed??

wernherneumann.bsky.social•29 days ago

I offer my web design services to Amazon for free.

wernherneumann.bsky.social•29 days ago

Would it help if, next to the tariff, Amazon added "THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT!"

wernherneumann.bsky.social•29 days ago

I'd wager $100 that Trump told her she must hold up this printed web page and use the words "Chinese propaganda arm".

I mean I would except that I just paid a $100 tariff on dog food.

gemshums.bsky.social•29 days ago

Trump’s not bright enough to recommend that. It’s more likely to be Miller, resident fascist.

Reporter: "Is Jeff Bezos still a Trump supporter?"

KL: "I'm not going to get into..." Next question

Me: WELL THEN WHY DID YOU JUST PRINT OUT AND DISPLAY A PICTURE OF JEFF BEZOS ANSWER ME THAT

wernherneumann.bsky.social•29 days ago

It's not beyond question that Leavitt thinks the phrase propaganda arm literally refers to an arm.

copperhyjynx.bsky.social•29 days ago

definitely the smart thing for Amazon to do, however I think we'll actually learn how rigid the chain of influence is on Bezos. As with WaPo, I can see this policy being rescinded.

A co-worker repeated, line for line, that what Amazon was doing was hostile. I told him, "If the objective truth is hostile, there is something wrong with you."

Hostile? Letting people know why they are paying more?

oneonline.bsky.social•29 days ago

They still won’t admit Trumps lie.

sv-works.bsky.social•29 days ago

My the times we are living through. It’s good to see your perspective on the issues being addressed by this administration.

uxchampion.bsky.social•29 days ago

That's an interesting perspective, Ms. Liesalot, but it's not an answer to the question you were asked. 🤨

docmcdoom.bsky.social•29 days ago

Itemized receipts are woke

someonenamedbrian.bsky.social•29 days ago

If tax is in the total before the cart that would be awesome too. They can itemize that also if they like

communitycafe.bsky.social•29 days ago

…because transparency is always hostile. 🙄

tcoopaloopa.bsky.social•29 days ago

Ahhh, capitalism at its best, doused in government interference and threats. Just like the capitalism in China and North Korea. That's the Republican party I know and love, government interference and overreach, exploding the deficit, and hyper control over "free" markets.
