[Video] - Trump / Karoline Leavitt Slams Amazon / Jeff Bezos For Displaying Tariff Cost On Item Pages On Amazon Website

1. Online purchases were meant to help Humankind, cutting out the Middlemen, just as how the Internet was born, even under the dire circumstances, to be CONNECTED & be AWARE, to uplift lives.

2. Ultimately, no matter how NOBLE the ideal of the internet was intended, just like every noble ideals sacrificed by many, so many others, it often gets twisted by animal cunning of those whom only sought for self personal interests than Humanity, proven time & time again throughout the course of Human History.

3. It is only comprehensible that the current trade friction Worldwide will be played even upon such noble systems as the internet, in this case the critical lifeblood of Humanity to progress & evolve - trade.

4. Under Free market policies, it is the Consumer who is the KING, as he decides upon what he wishes to buy, FROM WHOM TO BUY FROM, upon the amount on his wallet, with the best options that will leave him & enough to put food on the table for loved ones.

5. Equally, online traders such as Amazon or China TEMU needs to, to survive, & thus their costs reflections on their web presence. However, THANKFULLY, Amazon, TEMU & others, are NOT THE ONLY sources for online purchases, for Americans, let alone Humankind Worldwide.

There are many, many more entrepreneurships, that will sprout up from such online giants short sighted obdurateness in a free market , to seek OUT FAR many OTHER SOURCES, reaching deeper, EVEN WITHIN own Nations entrepreneurs, manufacturers, supply chains, etc, to source within one's nation's rich resource to provide the needs for Americans & Humankind than the standard supply local or foreign chains that giant online operators in need & DESPERATELY rely on. In a free market, No consumer or supplier will ever be held hostage.

By all means, may Amazon, China Temu & others go ahead & add the 145% tariffs upon online purchasers from USA. Just be prepared for demise by those companies such as Amazon or Temu bosses in a FREE Market.

For Americans whom wish to pay for the 145% tariffs on China products online, it will be them whom makes such payment to not just help China 9-9-6 sweatshop working & CCP govt o keep their factories running, employment & economic wealth, but most of it is to help uplift the American treasury, as such tariff taxes will eventually go the Treasury to to uplift social expenditure revenue for Americans such as in education, healthcare, infrastructure, etc.

an example:-

Should Amazon or others list a China product as $100, it WILL HAVE TO list equally that an American buyer will have to pay 145% tariff on the $100 product. The product manufacturer will NOT bear the tariff, but will be born by the American buyer once the China product reaches US border & custom check.

The only concern is that when MISREPRESENTATION occurs - listing the same $100 product as $245 after taxes, & then when the American buyer receives the parcel & a call from the Custom Authority that he needs to pay 145% tariff on the purchase price of the product which is listed as $245 which he has a pay for that mere $100 China product but misrepresented as $245 - tariff at costs of $355 to the USA Treasury, of which $145 had already gone to the Chinese manufacturer due to misrepresentation....


Most of what the insignificant nobody me knows is that the rich gets rich by being thrifty with savings & not be being spendthrifts. Every dollar counts, is how they amassed their wealth...
