    Did MAGAts think the guy who made his employees piss in Gatorade bottles would just absorb the cost of these tariffs?

      The far right keep comparing this to some kind of effort in the past like WWII and things like “victory gardens”.

      Thing is - they have not explained to anyone what the hoi polloi are supposed to get out of any of this mess? The idea of shifting the tax burden on the poor and middle class so that supposedly jobs will at some future point maybe possibly, without any kind of plan, will come back here…but the rich will DEFINITELY benefit if income tax is dropped.

      But yeah, we are all supposed to plant “victory gardens” and raise chickens or whatever the fuck, because Faux “News” says so. So yeah, dipshits like donvict’s Nazi Barbie probably really do think Amazon should eat the cost. You know, for “freedom”.

    Not sure how transparency in the “most transparent administration EVAR” is hostile or political.

    Honestly, every vendor should have this kind of transparency. Why shouldn’t I know how much donvict is taxing me?

    If Amazon had any balls, they’d display the cost without tariffs, then the costs with tariffs and use your “I did that” image pointing to the tariffed price.

    Hell, every retailer and business should do that.

      Except Bezos is in that “i did that” group. That was one of the only campaign promises that Trump was sure to keep, since it was the only way he would be able to afford his tax cuts for himself and his rich buddies like Bezos.

      Honestly someone needs to write an extension that does this.

      If I have some spare time and the ability to grok tariffs I’ll give it a stab.

    This should be in Leopards ate my face for both Trump and Bezos. Bezos paid good money through the inauguration fund (and probably other channels) and got screwed on the tariffs. Trump thought he had Bezos in the palm of his hand and didn’t. LMAO.

      I think Bezos long-term plan is to pressure Trump to back down on tariffs, then keep prices high anyway and keep Trump tax cuts.

      The oligarchs will infight, but at the end of the day, normal people lose either way.

        I always want to think the worst of bezos et al but:

        If the plan was just to jack up prices they wouldn’t make this distinction.

      This is the only reason I clicked. To laugh at both of these undeservedly rich assholes who thought the other was actually on their side

        That’s the fun thing about narcissistic sociopaths working together. It’s only a matter of time before they will turn on each other.

    Amazon already walked back this plan. Story should read, “Capitalist only brave enough to stand up to the poors.”

    Fact:

    n. a hostile political act, specifically designed to make Donald John Trump look bad.
