Many in this country already thought this, but now it’s official (according to Karoline Leavitt, TOM’s Chief Chihuahua) Amazon is an enemy of the state. And the devil incarnate. Ok, I added that. But you’d think that’s the sentiment from TOM country. “The White House is taking aim at Amazon, calling the e-commerce giant’s reported plans to soon display how much tariffs are increasing prices next to products a “hostile and political” move.
“I just got off the phone with the president about this, about Amazon’s announcement. This is a hostile and political act by Amazon,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a briefing Tuesday. Punchbowl News reported Tuesday that Amazon is planning to soon display how much President Donald Trump’s tariffs are adding to each of its products’ prices.” Right, because we would not want to have informed consumers. And since TOM torched the CFPB, why not Amazon to stand up for the little guy? I mean just because Bezos would never in a million years have done that before tariffs, doesn’t mean we can’t give him and The Big A a little head nod to showing US purchasers what’s what.
You will recall that Jeffy was among several Tech Bros who forked over bug sums to cozy up to TOM as the inauguration approached. Just like with the big NO to Sarah H Sanders in Arkansas, TOM’s recognition of someone’s fealty is fleeting. “But he (Bezos) was among several billionaire tech CEOs who directed donations to Trump’s inauguration fund earlier this year, with Amazon contributing $1 million, and has since met with the president at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.”
TOM may have single-handedly offered to China their greatest cause for nationalism and country loyalty. His awareness of cultural norms and relationships across the globe is shockingly poor. What is the main tenet of Chinese relations? Never lose face. There is no way in this universe that Xi decides to “negotiate” with someone who is attempting to publicly shame 1.416 billion people. And Xi made a video just to be sure he was clear.
The eye of the storm indeed. All bullies are just paper tigers. China, for the world, must rise and fight on. That’s a pretty big rallying cry if I ever heard one. You go, Xi.
Hegsloth has stepped in it once again. “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth boasted on social media Tuesday that he had dismantled a program supporting women on security teams, an initiative that he called “woke” but actually was signed into law by his boss, President Donald Trump.
In a post on the social platform X, Hegseth called the “Women, Peace & Security” program at the Defense Department “a UNITED NATIONS program pushed by feminists and left-wing activists. Politicians fawn over it; troops HATE it.”
It was, in fact, bipartisan legislation that Trump signed into law in 2017 that recognized the role women have in achieving security goals, especially overseas when their male counterparts may not be able to question or have direct access to women for cultural or religious reasons.” Dumb and Dumber. Hegsloth is actually both actors. But this isn't a movie, this is his reality show.
Well kids, we made it (almost). The Big 100. Tomorrow we will have survived 6.8% of TOM’s residence in the WH. The news outlets and talking heads are going to be hoarse by the end of the day is my guess with all of the analysis and forecasting that’s going to take place.
