    This should be in Leopards ate my face for both Trump and Bezos. Bezos paid good money through the inauguration fund (and probably other channels) and got screwed on the tariffs. Trump thought he had Bezos in the palm of his hand and didn’t. LMAO.

      This is the only reason I clicked. To laugh at both of these undeservedly rich assholes who thought the other was actually on their side

        That’s the fun thing about narcissistic sociopaths working together. It’s only a matter of time before they will turn on each other.

      I think Bezos long-term plan is to pressure Trump to back down on tariffs, then keep prices high anyway and keep Trump tax cuts.

      The oligarchs will infight, but at the end of the day, normal people lose either way.

        I always want to think the worst of bezos et al but:

        If the plan was just to jack up prices they wouldn’t make this distinction.
