Trump’s entire agenda is about making sure people don’t understand what he’s doing. The simplest way to resist is to tell people what he’s doing.

If Amazon won't inform customers about the costs of Trump's tariffs, other companies should step in. Clearly label these costs as the result of TRUMP's tariffs. Slap Trump's name right on them. He's weak on this issue, not strong.

So many products from China. I’m sure they could put the tariff cost “courtesy of DJT” in there somewhere!!!

Can someone with a stronger economics vocabulary than me also explain whether if the tariffs are *not* split out from the base purchase price, we also end up paying state sales tax over the additional amount of the tariffs. That can't be the intention, or is it?

He likes his grotesque name on everything, so this shouldn’t be a problem. 🤭🤷‍♀️

'(...) reveals Trump's "weakness".'

The irony of your statement is in many ways, Trump has no idea what he’s doing.

But he promised transparency 🙄

Great numbers of that tribe simply don't care or are on board with facts like this. Like Lincoln, you and I know if this isn't wrong, nothing is wrong.

Remember “Biden did this” at gas pumps?

This is some fun. Amazon denied the claim (Bloomberg & USA Today). But Trump took it one step further claiming he called Bezos (CNN) and they spoke and like a fake wrestling match.... Trump won.

Very little of this agenda is Trumps, he just signs the bits of paper the real agenda makers put in front of him.

Transparency is rarely wrong.

Boycott Amazon and shop at local, individually owned stores.
