Trump’s War With Bezos Erupts Over Amazon Tariff Display

President Donald Trump has opened a new front in his battle with big tech, targeting Amazon and its CEO Jeff Bezos.

Trump’s anger flared after Amazon revealed plans to display the cost of tariffs alongside the prices of products for sale.

According to the White House, Trump views the move as a direct political attack on his administration.

Amazon Faces Sharp Rebuke from White House

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed she spoke directly with the president about Amazon’s new pricing strategy.

She said Trump’s response was blunt: “This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.”

Amazon’s decision to show tariffs on product listings comes as part of Trump’s broader trade crackdown on countries like China.

Leavitt accused the tech giant of clear partisanship, questioning why Amazon stayed silent during the Biden-era inflation surge.

Accusations of Chinese Propaganda Ties

Leavitt also blasted Amazon for allegedly cozying up to Chinese officials.

She pointed to reports that Amazon once partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm to launch a special portal for government-approved books.

As part of the deal, Amazon even removed customer reviews for controversial Chinese content.

Adding fuel to the fire, Leavitt noted that Jay Carney, a former Obama official, played a key role in negotiating the deal.

Bezos in Trump’s Crosshairs

The feud with Bezos is only intensifying.

Photos of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Karoline Leavitt holding news clippings about Bezos during a White House press conference underscored the message.

The administration is determined to paint Amazon as acting against American interests.

Trump’s supporters quickly echoed the outrage online, accusing Bezos of weaponizing his business against the president’s trade policies.

Tariffs Meant to Bring Jobs Back

Trump has long argued that his tough tariffs will help revive American manufacturing.

He claims they will force companies to invest at home instead of relying on cheap foreign labor.

However, early signs suggest that consumers may end up footing the bill.

A Yale University study found that Trump’s tariffs could cost the average American household up to $4,400 per year.

New Tariffs Shake Up Economy and Polls

The White House continues adjusting the tariff structure, aiming to push China into negotiations.

But Trump’s sweeping moves, including ending the $800 duty-free loophole for sites like Temu and Shein, have rattled markets.

Not surprisingly, his approval rating has taken a hit.

Polling by Daily Mail/J.L. Partners shows Trump’s approval falling nine points to 45% — the first drop since his inauguration.

Concern over rising prices, especially for food and consumer goods, appears to be driving the decline.

Trump’s Support Base Holds Firm

Despite the dip, Trump’s core supporters remain loyal.

He still enjoys strong backing from men, white voters, and registered Republicans.

On Monday night, Trump dismissed the negative polls as “fake,” insisting, “We are doing GREAT, better than ever before.”

Meanwhile, he keeps pushing forward with aggressive policies aimed at reshaping America’s trade, immigration, and budget priorities.

100 Days of Disruption

Trump’s first 100 days of his second term have been anything but quiet.

Almost every day, he has signed executive orders reversing decades of Washington traditions.

His administration has slashed spending, tightened immigration, and even floated ideas as wild as annexing Greenland or taking control of the Panama Canal.

Voters, when asked about Trump’s greatest success, overwhelmingly pointed to immigration control.

The White House underlined that achievement on Monday by lining the driveway with mugshots of arrested illegal migrants.

Tariffs: Trump’s Biggest Gamble Yet

However, when voters were asked about Trump’s biggest mistake, tariffs topped the list.

With costs rising, many now worry about the long-term impact on their wallets.

Even some Trump voters, especially in states like California, have started expressing doubts about the president’s aggressive trade war.

Still, Trump shows no sign of retreat.

He insists that America must fight for its economic independence — even if that means clashing with giants like Jeff Bezos and Amazon.

As Trump’s war with Bezos heats up, one thing is clear: the fight over tariffs and tech is just getting started.
