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.

You know, I never knew who any of Biden's press secretaries were. They were never spouting insane bullshit, I guess.
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.
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
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.
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.

Amazon never did it.
CamelCamelCamel should add it anyway
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
Gotta love the parasite class turning on eachother
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.
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.
“Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” Leavitt asked during a press briefing.
Because Biden didn't start a trade war?
Because “inflation” isn’t a percentage number a president can just impose at will lol.
When confronted with this nonsense, I had started telling people that Biden had levers on his desk labeled inflation and gas prices. And nobody could get him to stop pulling them. Taking it to the absurd was surprisingly effective.
Spoken like a Republican that doesn't understand inflation and price gouging vs tariffs.
Oh, they understand perfectly. They're just psychopaths who don't care, and lie like the rest of us breathe.
Maybe a few of them are too stupid to understand, maybe a couple
How dangerous to believe deeply resourced and corrupt individuals are entirely unaware
Exactly.
99% know exactly what they're doing, and they're organized, and loyal.
Dangerous.
“The team that runs our ultra-low-cost Amazon Haul store considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products. This was never approved and is not going to happen,” said Tim Doyle, Amazon spokesperson.
Lmao some poor team gets thrown under the bus
