Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) wants to know whether Amazon founder Jeff Bezos received any “promises or favors” from President Donald Trump in exchange for his “subservience” after dropping all plans to show customers the cost of tariffs. In a letter sent on Wednesday, Warren questions Bezos about the details of his conversation with Trump and raises concerns “about the potential for tariff-related corruption.”
On Tuesday, Trump called Bezos to complain after a Punchbowl News report said that Amazon planned on showing the cost of tariffs right next to a product’s total price. Amazon later issued a statement saying that displaying tariff prices “is not going to happen,” adding that the company only “considered” showing the fees on its Haul store, which ships products directly from China. Trump then told reporters that Bezos is “very nice” and “solved the problem very quickly,” as reported by The New York Times.
“If Amazon had followed through on any plans to provide transparency on tariff costs, it could have provided important information for consumers, allowing them to find out for themselves some of the true costs of President Trump’s broad and chaotic tariff policies,” Warren writes.

Well it helped him hoard more wealth so he can afford another penis rocket.
Start an investigation then!
It’s the only reason any billionaire supports a presidential candidate. In his case, I am sure he is hoping for more tax cuts or Federally endorsed crypto or some shit.
Trump campaign often called out the Biden campaign making requests of companies. It seems like it was cover so he could do it. Personally I don’t care if gov asks companies to do something, but the optics of how Trump did seems to be an appeal to his base.
Everything is a quid pro quo with these clowns
Her actual words were „Did you at least get a reach around?“
These are the right questions to demand answers to.
He swears on every hair on his head that he didn’t… oh wait
Such a shame that the GOP gutted the CFPB before it was opened, removed its arrest/enforcement powers, and blocked Warren from heading it.
Jeff bezoz is a pussy
Is it considered a favor when someone just smacks you less?
That’s cute, but how about y’all start drafting and proposing laws to prevent all this shit from happening?
Can you force a vote or force it to pass? No. But you can get it out there and make the public aware that your parties isn’t feckless
What are obvious answers for $1000, Alex
Fair question higlight the corruption then when the rule of law returns pay Bezos, and Zuckerberg a visit.
So fucking gross. If I was worth $200 billion or whatever and this fat fuck told me to do something, I’d very publicly tell him to eat my whole asshole.
The ‚favor‘ he got is not being made a public enemy by the president and his admin.
Remember when the right was going batshit when they found out that Zuckerberg suppressed the Hunter Biden lap top story on FB? And I think they did it just because they didn’t want to display the d pics that came w it?
What was his answer?
Call him a criminal dipshit. Never say his name. Get more aggressive. The personification of consciousness of guilt. Incredibly dangerous. Plus he’s a fucking idiot.
Yup, that bunch is always talking about alpha energy while exhibiting beta behavior.
He got f-ing lies like everybody else. Trump told him the tariffs wouldn’t affect him. lol
Huhuhu favors… huhu huhu
More angry letters. That will do the trick.
It’s ok. Temu and Wish but show the Tariffs (and how they are def a tax), and Trump can’t do shit about that. I’m sure people will start to wonder why their products are more expensive if it’s not a tax on the people.
Of course he did and supporters don’t care.
The new phone system for the Social Security Administration, which doesn’t work and is full of bugs, happens to be an Amazon system. Hmmm.
No tariffs on Amazon purchases.
So I can see Trump can issue buissness decisions to supposedly independent corporation on a whim, by a phone call to CEO.
Now, imagine being a company from a „nasty“, European country considering purchase of eg AWS services. Or being some serious corporation competing with US ones already running on Bezos stuff. *Buissness will be booming.*
Bezos could become even wealthier than Z & M if he cut a deal with China instead of Trump. Continued Chinese goods supplied to Amazon in exchange for a receipt line item stating Tariff Tax.
The entire story yesterday confused me.
It sounds like someone ask Leavitt about something reported by a magazine article, she overreacted and Amazon said it was all just a rumor.
the funniest thing is he probably didn’t
Just wait until he gets Susan Collins‘ strongly worded email!!
Yeah a hummer on the back nine at Mar-a-lago and I’m not talking about the GM
vehicle.
Thats the polite way of asking „how much did trump pay him to be his little bitch?“ She shouldn’t have been polite.
Of course they don’t want to show the tariff amount. Then we would all know exactly what the unit cost is for things we buy. I suspect people wouldn’t be very happy to discover how large the markup is!
The only thing that interests Bezos is $$$
The taste of Cheeto dick in his mouth.
I know it’s not the same thing, but Temu DOES show the tariff added costs. So if you use Temu, make sure you look at that final cost carefully before you confirm your order!
I’m sure he did and will continue to
he got them to stop trashing them in media. tit for tat.
this is leveraged funding
All these faux “masculine” tech and military bros who are just cucks for Donnie.
I think the real question is: does Jeff spit or swallow?
I can’t imagine all of these self-made tech billionaires can’t not be chafing over bending over to a tinpot real estate buffoon who make his fortune of daddy’s money. I wish one of them would finally crack and make a fool of him.
