Karoline Leavitt Exposes Bezos, Amazon After Tariff Stunt

Trump administration officials came out guns blazing to mark the president’s first 100 days in office, pointing to a slew of economic victories to justify continued tariffs on countries around the globe.

Facing down the barrels was Amazon, which announced Tuesday morning that customers will now see a note next to the price of each product explaining how much the Trump tariffs are adding to the final total. In an early morning press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt branded the company a “traitor” for relying on Chinese suppliers.

“This is a hostile and political act by Amazon. Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden admin hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” Leavitt responded to a question about the company’s new policy.

She accused the company of “partnering with a Chinese propaganda arm,” another reason “why Americans should buy American.”

And while Leavitt refrained from commenting on President Donald Trump’s longstanding relationship with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos — who donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund — she doubled down on referring to a “hostile” new policy by his company.

This is how it started in Venezuela before Hugo Chavez expropriated people’s businesses

He first warned them against price increases. And when they had to raise prices, that’s when he seized their businesses

It’s a really stupid question to ask why didn’t they do that when Biden  was president because the prices did go up when Biden  was president. There were sewer tablets I used to buy every six months from Amazon and the prices did go up when Biden  was president.

If they were so proud of these tariffs, wouldn’t they be celebrating Amazon’s decision?


These people need to venture outside their cocoon
