Trump's Tariffs Are Decimating People's Wallets. The Solution Is Almost Too Easy.
Briefly

Donald Trump is apprehensive about consumer awareness of his tariffs increasing product prices. After reports of Amazon's plan to highlight tariff costs, Trump expressed frustration to Jeff Bezos. Although Amazon denied the report, its implications could politically harm Trump by making consumers aware of his policy's impact. The article suggests that all American businesses should clearly itemize tariff costs to inform customers, labeling it a 'Trump tax,' thus emphasizing the direct effect of his policies on everyday expenses.
If Amazon were to publicly list import charges on its goods, it would be a "hostile and political act" that could reflect poorly on Trump.
Every American business selling a good or service that involves a tariff-affected product should itemize the tariff upcharge and point it out when customers complain.
