Why did they choose to immediately make Amazon “hostile political enemy” when an alternate take could have been to view disclosure as (e.g.) “this is not supply chain related supply-demand inflation but related to tariff negotiations.” That kind of spin. Must have recently sniffed out disloyalty.

I'd argue that displaying tariffs due for imports vs domestically manufactured alternatives will help to encourage the American consumer to switch to more US made stuff, and to see the financial advantage of doing so. Assuming that things can be made cheap enough to be competitive ...

Uh hard to be cheap, yup. Even a factory build or expansion is difficult to finance in the US as the build (with, uh, materials from all over the tariffed world, but I digress) is more costly that the land value on which non-dilutive bank financing can take a lien. 100 other issues follow that one.

Customers would likely embrace the disclosure of the tariff cost on their sales invoices. It is short-sighted to view the move as hostile. Such disclosure might actually encourage customers to seek out products that have low or zero tariffs, thereby increasing the sale of items sourced in the U.S.

Frau Leavitt’s crazy-eyed protestation earlier today such an obvious tell that Cheeto Mussolini knows full well that tariffs will be passed on to and incurred by consumers!

And that, alone, is enough to be viewed as a some terroristic enemy of the new state around here. Independent thought, political hedging, expressing concern is all extremely disloyal to this administration.

Why is the "ultra transparent" Trump administration so afraid of Amazon tariffs posting policy? Might the Trump officials be lying about the tariffs being a tax on US citizens? Hmmm.

When I order from Amazon in Canada they always show me the duties payable on shipment. Duties is another word for tariffs. Its the honest thing to do which is why I’m surprised Amazon is doing it

Is it just me or does anybody else find it interesting this administration is so worried about Americans finding out how much of these tariffs will come out of their own wallets? Do these people even know China can do the exact same thing as Amazon/Jeff Bezos? bsky.app/profile/wsj....

Send an email to Amazon in support of tariff transparency. Hello, Please pass on to the powers that be that I, along with most Americans, are grateful for the tariff transparency of Amazon. DON'T BACK DOWN! NO MATTER THE THREATS FROM TRUMP! We deserve the truth! Thank you! [Name] A Prime Member
