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.

[–] sommerset@thelemmy.club 2 points 12 minutes ago* (last edited 11 minutes ago)

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

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 8 points 2 hours ago

You know, I never knew who any of Biden's press secretaries were. They were never spouting insane bullshit, I guess.

[–] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

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.

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.

Keep pissing off the elite, trump,.please keep pissing them off.

I love how they get poorer and want to get rid of you some way

[–] puddinghelmet@feddit.nl 1 points 1 minute ago* (last edited 1 minute ago)

what the xD Trump is not pissing the elite off, he is hired for the elite and for project 2025, who want an extreme conservative america with only republicans at power 💩

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 21 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

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.

Nah, not chickened out, they're in cahoots. Example .. 40 mil for a shitty Melania documentary is outrageous. For reference, BBC's planet earth cost 25 million. So.. yeah..

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Who the actual fuck cares about Melania? I get watching a documentary on Chris Chan cause at least that's largely a self contained train wreck, but the fuck has Melania ever done that's even passingly notable?

By the Allfather I can't even fathom the fucking vanity of these pissants.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Eh, it's mostly about the bribe, I'm sure. Having people pretend to be interested in her is just a bonus.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Probably mostly the bribe, but for them to settle on a fucking documentary is just alien to me. Like it's just asking for folks to take a find toothed comb through her shit, the concept alone makes me want to climb into a hole and further blend into the paint. But I am admittedly coming from a background that utterly encourages being unnoticed except to those you like, good way to not be shot.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Easy to produce, spend the bare minimum, "spend" the rest on "marketing" and voilà, ez 38 mil in Melania's pockets. Nobody said anything about the documentary being thorough or factual or anything of the sort, you're thinking of the alternate reality where truth is a thing and Gwyneth Paltrow and other cunts aren't allowed to peddle their bullshit

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

Gotta love the parasite class turning on eachother

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 27 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 hours ago

They've already had a phone call about it and Trump is back to calling him the most amazing leader of a beautiful American company or whatever. He stepped down in 2021.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

What?

Yeah, it's shitty from a moral and ethical standpoint, but he doesn't want the MAGA Cult to boycott his business.

From a corporate psychopath view, it's the smart move.

The shitty, psychopath move.

“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?

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 24 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Because “inflation” isn’t a percentage number a president can just impose at will lol.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

When confronted with this nonsense, I had started telling people that Biden had levers on his desk labeled inflation and gas prices. And nobody could get him to stop pulling them. Taking it to the absurd was surprisingly effective.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 18 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (2 children)

Spoken like a Republican that doesn't understand inflation and price gouging vs tariffs.

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, they understand perfectly. They're just psychopaths who don't care, and lie like the rest of us breathe.

[–] parody@lemmings.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe a few of them are too stupid to understand, maybe a couple

How dangerous to believe deeply resourced and corrupt individuals are entirely unaware

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Exactly.

99% know exactly what they're doing, and they're organized, and loyal.

Dangerous.

“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
