The retail giant Amazon, which has long kowtowed to China, now wants to play victim over President Trump’s tariffs.
Amazon reportedly plans to disclose the costs of Trump’s tariffs on its products. This is, objectively speaking, a blatant political move designed to undermine the President’s America First trade policies. The White House, rightfully, called it out as “hostile and political.” But let’s examine the facts here.
Why, pray tell, didn’t Amazon make such a fuss when Biden’s disastrous economic policies sent inflation skyrocketing to a 40-year high? The silence was deafening. This selective outrage exposes the fundamental hypocrisy of both Amazon and the left.
Let’s say that tariffs do increase some consumer costs. Even if that were true, which is debatable, it ignores the broader economic picture. Trump’s tariffs are designed to protect American jobs and industry from unfair Chinese competition. The idea that we should prioritize cheap Chinese goods over American workers is absurd on its face.
Moreover, Amazon’s credibility on this issue is, frankly, nonexistent. In 2021, they partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm. This is a company that has repeatedly chosen profits over patriotism. The fact that they’re now trying to portray themselves as consumer advocates is laughable.
In conclusion, Amazon’s move is nothing more than a transparent attempt to undermine America First policies. It’s a cynical ploy that ignores the complexities of international trade and the importance of protecting American industry.
