"This is a hostile and political act by Amazon"

That's a very loaded statement.

I just wonder if this leak might have been intentional.  Amazon didn't intent to do it now but it was a warning to Trump to get his tariff shit together or else this could happen.  Plus it got the idea out there to other retailers for them to think about.

Given Trump's reaction, he's afraid of this sort of thing.

If you have a policy that you are proud of, then you hope that people will highlight ways in which it is showing in the world.

When you have a policy that you are ashamed of, you try to get people to stop talking about it.

When you are a bully or mafioso, you threaten people who talk about your bad idea.
