The effect of inflation on any given purchase is impossible to know. So many inputs go into the price of things that you can have prices drop on some things while inflation soars. It isn't simple math to break out the effect of inflation on a given price tag - and as the OP pointed out, consumers already understand how inflation works. They don't understand a **** thing about tariffs - the majority believe that tariffs are paid by the country of origin. 

To answer your question, her lies were implicit - and I believe the OP did a fair to middling job of exposing the implicit lies. I will enumerate them as I saw the OP answer them:

1. Implicitly lied that Amazon could as easily have broken out Biden's inflation as it can break out Trump's tariffs;
2. Implicitly lied that both issues are equally hazy to consumers. 

Those are from the OP. I will add a third, of my own conception:

3. Implicitly lied that a firm which relies for its life blood on imports is being "partisan" when it kicks the shin of a president that is **** in its gravy bowl. 

FTR, I'm not defending Amazon. I'm just answering your question.
