I guess Amazon and Bezos did not pay enough bribes (oops, made political contributions) to get an exemption from the #PendejoInChief.

In #ChampagneProblems. These are not daily use sneakers, these are very high end luxury items. I said it before, cardinal sin in the US is to mess with the #RealOwners. Children going barefoot, no one gives a fuck. Mess with fancy sneakers collector, there will be hell to pay.

The #AmericanEmpire has been a dead man walking for a while now; it finally died, and it was completely self inflicted. Of the three reasons the author wrote, TBH, boils to "they wanted what he promised." Again, don't underestimate gringos' empowered feeling in saying fuck you to everyone else.
