Trump administration officials threw a heicy fit on Tuesday over reports that Amazon was scheduled to launch a listing. The impact of customs duties Regarding individual product prices. Their anger was understandable in light of the tariffs of damage. I’ve already given it Regarding the economy, President Donald Trump has said that “tariffs” have been “The most beautiful words in the dictionary. “He’s supposed to want the bold type of Amazon price collapse, and the words listed in as many places as possible!
Instead, White House spokesman Caroline Leavitt argued that the tariffs had been revealed as “hostile and political acts by Amazon.”
Trump’s face deserves criticism, but there’s another person who can withstand scrutiny. Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and owner of the Washington Post;
Like many other billion types, Bezos has spent the past few months kissing new White House residents, hoping that his weakness will become a prey attack Like what Trump launched against Amazon during his first term as president, and secures more Billion Dollar Government Contract For Bezos’ space company Blue Origin.
Part of Bezos’ strategy to win Trump’s heart: castrate the Washington Post first rejection By running traditional presidential support in the newspaper (which would have gone to Kamala Harris), and then castrate the entire editorial board. Those actions are Bleeding readers and revenue publishing Just as Bezos likes his clients Dad Trump.
“We write every day with the support and defense of two pillars: personal freedom and free market. Of course we cover other topics, but the perspectives against those pillars will be exposed by others,” Bezos said. I wrote it on x.
His choice of social media platforms was no coincidence. That’s because it’s where Trump and his biggest shikophant curry like. Co-president Elon Musk.
“I am sure that free markets and individual freedom are right for America,” said Bezos, whose free market ideas include a $1 million donation to Trump’s inauguration. “We believe these perspectives are not well served in the current market for ideas and news opinions. We are excited to fill that void together.”
Haha! Yes, free capitalism is certainly difficult to find in today’s media landscape.
But what is the “free market” regarding customs? What does “freedom” mean when people are not properly informed?
If Bezos wants to live his supposed ideals, then the idea, which has severely damaged one of our country’s best journalistic institutions, can prove it by doing exactly what Trump fears most. Free Marketand let them know the de facto outcomes so that they can properly evaluate how they proceed. If consumers love higher prices from tariffs just like Trump, then great! GOP is safe in the mid-term elections of 2026.

But Republicans are clearly terrified of prospects, including Trump. So, despite the disappointment of everyone over the term “tariffs,” Levitt essentially threatened Bezos from the podium in the White House press room.
But as Bezos said he wasn’t afraid of retaliation, that certainly doesn’t matter.
“You can view my wealth and business interests as breakwaters against threats, or you can see them as a web of conflicting profits,” he said. I wrote it When justifying the disapproval of his paper. “Only my own principles can tilt the balance to the other. My view here guarantees that it is actually principled. I think my track record as an owner of posts since 2013 supports this.
Well, it seems that’s happening now.
By doing what Trump fears most, he can prove that he is not for anyone: 230 million people Those who buy from Amazon the effects and consequences of Trump’s unfair tariffs.
In fact, the free market principles require that.
