An incredibly despicable act by the world’s largest online retailer has brought about the Trump White House’s wrath.
As Punchbowl News reported Amazon will soon show how much President Trump’s tariffs are supposedly adding to the price of each product on the website to avoid blame. The cost of the tariffs will be placed right next to the product’s total listed price.
This would mark a significant slap in the face of Trump by Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, who has been cozying up to the president in recent months. He has even implemented major positive changes to the opinion sections of his far-left newspaper, which has caused several writers to quit in a huff.
Not surprisingly, a reporter asked a question about this new development during a White House press briefing headed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, which focused on Trump’s economic success >in the first 100 days. Leavitt took his query and responded with absolute fire.
“This is a hostile and political act by Amazon,” Leavitt replied. “Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?”
Leavitt next pointed out an inconvenient truth, which may explain why Amazon took this disgraceful action. Not surprisingly, the answer involves China.
“And I would also add that it is not a surprise,” she continued. “As Reuters recently wrote, Amazon has recently partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm. So this is not a surprise.”
Back in December 2021, Reuters revealed that Amazon started marketing a collection of Chinese dictator Xi Jinping’s speeches and writings on its Chinese website when Beijing ordered them to stop allowing any customer ratings and reviews in China. A negative review of an unnamed book of Xi’s prompted the demand.
Leavitt emphasized that this move by Amazon emphasizes the importance of making things in America again.
“This is another reason why Americans should buy American. We are anchoring critical supply chains here at home to boost our own manufacturing here.”

When a reporter asked whether Bezos was still a Trump supporter, Leavitt declined to comment. She then turned the microphone over to Bessent.
