This makes me wonder if Leavitt was speaking for Trump, the Trump administration in general, or for herself.

And I'm not sure if that "consideration" was weighed by Bezos, the Amazon corporation, or what. Doesn't it seem like it would be a dumb move for Amazon though? It would have been like saying "Look at these tariffed prices and think about whether or not you still want to buy it." (Passing the blame for high prices does not seem like a good sales maneuver.)
