Stephen Miller blasted Amazon for pushing a scheme that would have sabotaged President Trump’s tough trade talks with China. The White House deputy chief of staff accused the retail giant of trying to turn customers against tariffs by showing how much prices increased because of Chinese trade policies. Amazon backed down only after President Trump personally called CEO Jeff Bezos and demanded they kill the plan.
Miller called this a “hostile act” against American workers. He argued that exposing tariff costs would have spread lies about Trump’s pro-America trade agenda. The administration believes tariffs force China to stop stealing U.S. jobs and intellectual property. Letting Amazon highlight price hikes would have weakened America’s negotiating position during critical talks.
China has spent decades cheating American workers through illegal trade practices. They steal our inventions, dump cheap products here, and keep their markets closed to U.S. goods. Miller emphasized that Trump’s tariffs are the only way to make China play fair. Without this pressure, China will keep hollowing out our factories and replacing middle-class jobs with sweatshop labor overseas.
The White House says parents understand something Amazon doesn’t: American values matter more than cheap prices. Sure, Chinese-made toys might cost a few dollars more now. But supporting U.S. workers and fighting back against Communist China’s greed is worth paying extra. Real patriots want their kids playing with toys made in Ohio—not toxic junk from Beijing.
Amazon’s retreat shows President Trump still has the power to hold corporations accountable. When Bezos tried to undermine Trump’s America First policies, the president picked up the phone and shut it down. This is why voters put Trump in the Oval Office—to protect our workers from globalist CEOs and foreign predators.
Miller warned that China’s trade attacks are economic warfare. Every stolen patent and pirated product is a missile aimed at our prosperity. Trump’s tariffs rebuild the defenses China spent years dismantling. The days of letting Communist dictators walk all over American greatness are over.
Some weak-kneed politicians and media elites whine about higher prices. But Trump supporters know you can’t put a price tag on national pride. Our grandparents built this country with American steel and sweat—not cheap plastic trinkets from slave factories.
President Trump’s leadership has brought back millions of manufacturing jobs. Wages are rising faster than inflation for the first time in decades. The Amazon controversy proves that with guts and grit, America can beat China and win the 21st century.
