    Trump dials up Bezos amid 'hostile and political' tariff fight with
    Amazon

    An Amazon spokesperson said the company was not going to display
    tariff costs next to products, following a report it would do so
    earlier Tuesday.

    President Donald Trump called Amazon founder Jeff Bezos Tuesday
    following a report that the e-commerce giant was planning to soon
    display how much tariffs are increasing prices next to its products, a
    person familiar with the conversation -- granted anonymity to discuss
    the private conversation -- told POLITICO.

    Out of sight, out of mind....and Bezos bends another knee...

    Footnote - For those using Chinese sites to buy products, they are
    posting the tariff charge. So, the T-Borg's attempt to "keep them in
    the dark" about tariff charges ain't going to work. Videos on X/bsky
    are posting tariff charges from these Chinese sites.
