Tuesday, April 29, 2025

REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?

LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

An anti-Jeff Bezos movement began percolating last year when the Washington Post didn't endorse Kamala Harris: apnews.com

In the confrontational interview with reporter Terry Moran, the president doubled down on his China trade war plan, claiming the Chinese will "eat those tariffs," when it is widely acknowledged that price hikes will be passed on to American consumers.

China is going to eat those tariffs like Mexico paid for the wall.

We can never thank Republican voters enough for sending the US towards another Great Depression. But don't worry, Felon Musk, Scott Bessent, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Bill Maher, Joe Rogaine, and the other well-paid junta members and Congressmen will be fine.

'In 1929 or 1930, Vaudeville comedian Eddie Cantor, who lost most of his money in the Wall Street Crash, joked that when he requested a 19th-floor room at a NYC hotel, the clerk asked him: "What for? Sleeping or jumping?"

Don't forget Muslims for Trump!

Muslims For Trump: We Were A Deciding Factor
"Muslims for Trump proudly celebrates the historic landslide victory of President Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential election, where Muslim-American voters proved to be a decisive factor," the organization said in a press release."

"Throughout the campaign, Muslims for Trump concentrated efforts on states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, where the Muslim vote became a linchpin for victory. Chowdhury added, "Our efforts in mobilizing the community demonstrated that Muslim Americans are no longer taken for granted. Trump has acknowledged our role, and we are ready to work alongside his administration to advocate for policies that support peace and unity.""

The big question is why the White House would get their panties in a wad over tariffs if USans were supportive of them?

If people were fans of Tariffs, wouldn't they be thanking Amazon?

One must only conclude that USans aren't fanbois of paying more for stuff.

I'm all for busting out the prices. Makes it easier for those who want to choose brands mostly originating here. I think it would be great if each product had an offshore score.

While Mr. Bezos is at it maybe he could break out how much from each product goes into his toy rockets and spaceships.

I'm no fan of tariffs ... .. but I do think it is puzzling how so many folks thought increasing corporate income taxes wasn't going to jack up prices Did they really think Walmart and Amazon were just going to suck it up and cut profits?

What? Corporations got healthy tax CUTS during Trump's first term.

They spent their savings on stock buybacks instead of investing in new American facilities or raising wages to proper levels.
