White House calls Amazon ‘hostile’ for reportedly planning to list tariff costs

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.

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

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.

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 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.

Amazon never did it.

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.

Gotta love the parasite class turning on eachother

“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?

Bezos backing down while at the same time owning a newspaper is pretty pretty pretty shite.

“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

Telling people how much the Trump Tax costs them is now considered “hostility”. Got it.

exists in reality, logically examines reality, does rational thing

HOW DARE YOU

Yes, keep making enemies of the billionaires that got this administration into office and spent millions of dollars to do so. I'd very much love that for you.

Tronald Dump only wants one thing, unquestioning loyalty. Thinking for yourself is treason

Anybody want to bet Bazos backs down?

Trump: “We’re increasing foreign prices because we want consumers to prefer buying American.”

Retailers: “These foreign goods are more expensive than American-made ones.”

Trump: “How dare you tell them that!”

These snowflakes are offended by their shadow being black. Bunch of fucking idiots.

Yeah, no shit it's hostile. This Administration is being hostile to their business! What in the fuck did they expect to happen?

Yeah more people need to be hostile to this jackoff

How dare you try to hide that shit, drumpf you cancerous toad! If Amazon has any balls, which it doesn't and has proved so, it would not back down. I wanna know why my shit is more expensive and I wanna be able to point my fucking finger.

would be a great add-on for firefox, though

Cool! Send Bezos to El Salvador.

I want to punch that bitch in the face every time I see a pic of her.

Amazon .com denied a report on Tuesday that it planned to disclose the cost that U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump were adding to its products, after the White House blasted the initial story.

I mean, I thought Jeff was being charitable during the inauguration.

"How dare you offer clarity about what we've done!"

Wonder if Bezos will ask for his money back

It seems he's amping up his language. I think he recently said a former associate was guilty of treason.

The truth is usually hostile to this administration.

As a European, I must thank the US for making my pet products cheaper. Way cheaper. Way cheaper than I could ever expect.

I just wish I could buy these products, these same products, without ruining the world and my morality as well.

But what am I talking about… my cats deserve litter robots at 90 % discount. (Edit: obviously sarcasm)

Try realistic

But these tariff costs are going to be paid by China just like you promised, right Don ? RIGHT ????

I was wondering when retailers would do this. American retailers do this with all other large taxes and fees. Why would this be any different?

Some great timing happened, my Prime membership auto renewal coincided with the inauguration and public display of facism - so I ceased all purchases and didn’t re-up for prime.

I’m doing my part!

I would call this move by Amazon honest.

MAGAts are the ones that are hostile to our pocketbooks.

Why anounce this? Just do it.

how dare you make people realize that tariffs hurt them and not companies!!!???111

Isn't customary in the US to publish the prices before taxes and then ar last moment add all the local and state taxes?

"free speech"

Never ever take fascists at their word, they're all bullshitting you always.

Amazon had already listed import and duty fee way before this. These fees are just now a lot larger and more "visible".

Tarrifs = Tax

The tax is paid by local business and then passed onto consumers in higher cost of goods.

FYI, generally when you buy items on Amazon and the goods are not locally stocked in Amazon's warehouse for same day delivery, Amazon acts like a broker for you helping facilitate the import of goods. The import fee is then passed onto you as the "importer" directly. Things that Amazon stocks locally but imported themselves will just increase in price and a label may not show the import fee paid for by amazon at the time they imported the product or item.

While it sounds like Amazon already capitulated, I'm guessing they'll switch gears when their customers start complaining about the rise in prices.

Ahahahahahahahahahah

its the greatest witch hunt, its election interferance, its terrorism, its weaponizing yada yada yada...........
