A Dark Knight's Take on Daylight Robbery

Gotham is a city of criminals and it seems even billionaires aren't immune to schemes. The White House is up in arms because Amazon led by Bezos is planning to show consumers just how much of their hard earned money is vanishing thanks to these tariffs. 'This is hostile,' they say. Hostile? Try facing the Joker with only a Batarang. Now THAT'S hostile. As if this isn’t bad enough the treasury secretary claims its the American consumer and not China who is going to pay for these policies. Maybe he needs a reminder who runs this city.

Bezos and Trump: A Romance Gone Sour?

Word on the street is that Bezos was trying to cozy up to Trump. Million dollar donations attending inaugurations... the whole nine yards. Even twisted The Washington Post's opinion section. But now with these tariffs potentially hitting Amazon's profits the gloves are off. As Alfred always says 'Some men aren't looking for anything logical like money. They can't be bought bullied reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.' Is this the case with Trump and Bezos?

The Plot Thickens: China's Fashion Giants Join the Fray

It's not just Amazon feeling the pinch. Fast fashion giants Shein and Temu are also slapping on massive surcharges. Temu's charging an extra 145% under the moniker 'import charge.' 145%! Even Two Face would think that's excessive. This whole situation is starting to look like a carefully orchestrated plan. It's the kind of plan a criminal mastermind like Ra's al Ghul would concoct.

Amazon's Emailing Spree: Decoding the Despair

Amazon's sending emails to sellers gauging the impact of Trump's agenda. It's like asking the Riddler for the solution to his own riddle. The answer is always chaos. It's clear that these tariffs are sending shockwaves through the business world disrupting the lives of ordinary people. My parents died because of the likes of this. I can't sit idly by.

Buy American: A Slogan or a Savior?

The White House is shouting 'Buy American!' as if it's some kind of magic spell. But can Gotham really survive on Gotham made goods alone? Maybe if Lucius Fox starts mass producing Batmobiles for everyone we might stand a chance. Alfred once said 'Endure Master Wayne. Take it. They'll hate you for it but that's the point of Batman isn't it? He can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else can make the right choice.' But can we really endure this?

The Bat Verdict: Prepare for Turbulence

This whole situation smells like a setup. Political maneuvering economic warfare and a hefty dose of corporate greed. I need to dig deeper uncover the truth and bring these villains to justice. Gotham brace yourselves. This is going to be a bumpy ride. The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you the dawn is coming.

    I knew Bezos was up to no good. He's always been shady.

    So, we're basically paying more for the same stuff because of tariffs? Great.

    Anyone else think this is just the beginning of a bigger conflict?

    Amazon is just trying to pass the blame. They're not innocent either.
