Amazon is about to make the hidden cost of Trump’s tariffs impossible to ignore. The company announced it will soon display a line next to product prices showing exactly how much the Trump-era tariffs are adding to the final cost. Economists have long said it: tariffs don’t punish China — they punish American consumers. Now Amazon is putting it in plain sight, right at checkout. Trump allies are fuming. Trade advisor Eavitt blasted Amazon’s move as “a hostile and political act,” accusing the company of trying to sabotage the administration’s trade narrative. But supporters say it’s about transparency. “Amazon’s just showing shoppers who’s really footing the bill,” one analyst said. “And it’s not China.” Amazon hasn’t commented on the backlash yet — but one thing’s clear: this is about to get messy.
