She said that she had just been talking on the phone with the president about the Punchbowl report, and she also asked aloud in her briefing why Amazon hadn’t done such a thing when prices increased during the Biden administration because of inflation. Ms. Leavitt said it was “not a surprise” coming from Amazon, as she held up a copy of a 2021 article from Reuters with the headline “Amazon partnered with China propaganda arm.”

Let's begin with the Biden Dodge.
Inflation isn't a policy, it is a consequence.
Its causes are reasonably well established.
Tariffs are Grifty's policy tool. Their consequences are entirely discretionary. Don't want to pay the cost?
Don't impose them.
But if you call yourself Tariff Man, you own it.
From the Pootie Cockholster Administration.
1) Biden inflation was caused by a multi TRILLION $$$ COVID bill that we DID NOT NEED... YES, it is a consequence, but a consequence of Joe Biden INCOMPETENCE and STUPIDITY !
2) Tariffs are NOT a tax on Americans... they are ONLY a cause of inflation if you INSIST on buying foreign products... THEY ARE Pro American business, which is why TRILLIONS of Foreign $$$ are coming into America to BUILD IN America, and WILL SOON BE GREAT for America and American workers !
3) Prior to 1913... ALL American "National income" was from tariffs... then, DEMOCRATS began income taxes! Trump may well be looking to replace ALL income taxes with: a) a consumption tax, and b) Tariffs... WHICH will have the effect of AGAIN eliminating income taxes, and essentially monetizing the American economy to foreign businesses.. and is ALL GOOD for Americans and America workers... and it took an America BUSINESSMAN to think of it !
4) With a $37 TRILLION debt that Democrats and Democrat policies have forced on America.. bringing us to the brink of insolvency... Tariffs may well be the OUR SAVIOR... LIKE it or NOT !
5) You can always tell when Democrats are worried... when the LIES and PROJECTION becomes EPIC... AND THAT is what we are seeing TODAY !
