    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.

      I don’t think you understand how stupid the average person is. There is a decent chance this will all be biden inflation in their minds and not tariffs if there isn’t literally a thing that says “tariff charge” on it. Even then they will probably see that and think it’s just there to lie and hurt Trump

        given how much tariffs have permeated the news and people’s bank accounts and retirement accounts I don’t think there’s much avoidance of the topic

    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.

    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…

          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.

              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.

                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

    “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?

      • 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.

      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.
