I admit that I'm being conspiratorial here. But even if it's wasn't a planned ahead, doesn't the fact that Bezos folded minutes after the public learned about this tariff pricing scheme serve the same purpose?

To all the business people, Bezos looks like the first guy to fight the gorilla, but I'm having trouble accepting that he was either brave or ever in any danger.

The fact that Bezos folded after a short time is because Trump is just fucked enough in the head to try and destroy his business or kill him. Remember, that barely sentient cantaloupe has the might of the US military behind him.
