Amazon’s Plan

Matt Gagnon discussed Amazon’s plan to include tariff costs in product prices, which was criticized by President Trump before implementation. Jeff Bezos quickly addressed the issue, and Amazon denied the plan. Gagnon criticized the complexity of calculating inflation impacts on prices. He also discussed a bill in Maine to eliminate property taxes for seniors, highlighting its potential high cost and the unfairness of exempting some taxpayers. Gagnon noted the bill’s similarity to a 2026 program that cost $26 million. Additionally, he touched on President Trump’s visit to Michigan, where he hugged Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and a poll suggesting 57% blame Trump for the Conservatives’ loss in Canada’s recent election.
