If White House enacted a different tax to, say, fund more highways, and Amazon decided to display that, then that might be a different matter.

But this is tariffs. Tariffs work by making imported goods more expensive, which makes them less attractive to consumers, which makes domestic goods more attractive in comparison. That's the whole fucking point of tariffs. To make imported goods more expensive.

Amazon is essentially running a free advertisement for White House, showing off how Trump's tariffs are doing their job!

Exactly what else did Trump supporters expect to happen? Ponies and rainbows? Well, probably not rainbows - it's gay.
