It’s just another example of their incompetence.
They ought to be proud of labeling the tariffed products, so that customers could easier choose the domestic brands, which supposedly is the point of having the tariffs in the first place.
Attempting to hide it only shows that they realize how bad the tariffs really are.
Had they labelled them “Trump’s beautiful tariffs” it would have gone smoothly
Tariffs are advertised as helping domestic companies.
In actuality, they directly hurt foreign companies and the hope is that the unhurt domestics will then flourish.
If the tariffs collected were used to simulate domestic companies, this would actually be possibly beneficial to the economy.
However those tariffs are being pocketed by the rich (through tax cuts and money laundering through contracts and crypto).
These should not be listed as tariffs costs, they should be listed for what it is: “amount Trump’s administration decided to steal from you based on your spending habits”
Just like stating COVID-19 wasn’t lethal, and was just the flu. An estimated 400,000 MAGA Cult Members, out of 1 Million US dead from the virus, believed a narcissist with the mind of child who didn’t want to embarrassed by not having a perfect, fawning, adulating audience to his magnificence. RFK Jr. literal stated recently that CVD-19 only killed “Old People.” Yeah, idiot, some of those old people were someone’s grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, friends, and some of them believed an idiot who told them to take horse dewormer, or fish aquarium chloride to cure it.
This is the same thing. These people are psychopaths.
Amazon never did it.
Chickened out I see
Nah, not chickened out, they’re in cahoots. Example … 40 mil for a shitty Melania documentary is outrageous. For reference, BBC’s planet earth cost 25 million. So… yeah…
Who the actual fuck cares about Melania? I get watching a documentary on Chris Chan cause at least that’s largely a self contained train wreck, but the fuck has Melania ever done that’s even passingly notable?
By the Allfather I can’t even fathom the fucking vanity of these pissants.
Eh, it’s mostly about the bribe, I’m sure. Having people pretend to be interested in her is just a bonus.
Probably mostly the bribe, but for them to settle on a fucking documentary is just alien to me. Like it’s just asking for folks to take a find toothed comb through her shit, the concept alone makes me want to climb into a hole and further blend into the paint. But I am admittedly coming from a background that utterly encourages being unnoticed except to those you like, good way to not be shot.
Easy to produce, spend the bare minimum, “spend” the rest on “marketing” and voilà, ez 38 mil in Melania’s pockets. Nobody said anything about the documentary being thorough or factual or anything of the sort, you’re thinking of the alternate reality where truth is a thing and Gwyneth Paltrow and other cunts aren’t allowed to peddle their bullshit
A documentary about watching paint dry would have more character and fun facts than anything related to that evil old hag
I’m pretty sure that’s just an episode of How Its Made on history channel circa 2010.
CamelCamelCamel should add it anyway
So the truth is hostile.
Meanwhile there’s a deportation bill to the tune of 80,000,000,000. These are for concentration camps and 10,000 more ICE Nazis to run them.
They are coming for you.

I do so wish they would. Certain they won’t.
Bezos bent knee & kissed the ring. Chances he’ll grow a spine? 1 in a few million.
They’ve already had a phone call about it and Trump is back to calling him the most amazing leader of a beautiful American company or whatever. He stepped down in 2021.
He’s still on the board, but yeah he hasn’t been at the helm for a while now.
The mean girls oligarch shunning is actually kind of hilarious
Temu, taobao, alibaba all openly show 150% tariffs in their ui.
Go try checking out.Amazon might hide it but it sells all the same products so not gonna deceive many
I don’t think you understand how stupid the average person is. There is a decent chance this will all be biden inflation in their minds and not tariffs if there isn’t literally a thing that says “tariff charge” on it. Even then they will probably see that and think it’s just there to lie and hurt Trump
given how much tariffs have permeated the news and people’s bank accounts and retirement accounts I don’t think there’s much avoidance of the topic
They think this will somehow be a quick trade war that ends in everything being the same price, but suddenly produced domestically. They are still delusional. They are still riding the 2020 inflation wave they call bidenomics.
What’s hilarious is the tariffs appear in their “Haul” storefront, which is just their version of Temu. It’s pretty new like a few months old and an attempt at stealing business from those other apps.
So you’re telling me that a online shopper would stumble on Amazon Haul, never ever knowing about the many other discount e-commerce stores, and won’t quickly piece together WHY things are priced that way?
Keep pissing off the elite, trump,.please keep pissing them off.
I love how they get poorer and want to get rid of you some way
what the xD Trump is not pissing the elite off, he is hired for the elite and for project 2025, who want an extreme conservative america with only republicans at power 💩
Sooooo, the fucking “billionaire” POTUS is somehow NOT “the elite”?? What the actual fuck do you people smoke, and do you know where I can score some? I wish I could be this delusional sometimes.
He’s costing billionaires loads of money, usually that doesn’t end well… Obe can hope, anyways
ah, got it, sorry, misunderstood what you were getting at, thought you were one of the poors thinking Fatputin was on their side against the “elites”.
Bezos backing down while at the same time owning a newspaper is pretty pretty pretty shite.
What?
Yeah, it’s shitty from a moral and ethical standpoint, but he doesn’t want the MAGA Cult to boycott his business.
From a corporate psychopath view, it’s the smart move.
The shitty, psychopath move.
Haha keep dancing for your new master, Bezos. Fuckhead.
Trump has been bragging about how he would put tariffs on everything for a few years. Why is pointing out the tariffs he is bragging about an act of hostility towards him? You would think he would want his accomplishment to be pointed out.
Gotta love the parasite class turning on eachother
I would be pissed if they didn’t. Getting surprised AFTER the purchase with an extra… whatever percentage Trump has settled on this week, would be absolutely infuriating.
I think the idea was “here’s the portion of the price that is affected by import tariffs.” The price doesn’t change. But it’s just the WH freaking out over something that one small division of Amazon was considering and hadn’t even made a decision about.
You know, I never knew who any of Biden’s press secretaries were. They were never spouting insane bullshit, I guess.
Bezos is to Trump as Trump is to Putin. IOW they each grovel and obey in the hopes their master will give even a slight positive acknowledgement, but it never happens.
