Am I a conspiracy theorist to believe that Amazon is behind Trump’s decision to end the de minimis?

Not just Amazon. Every retailer and seller wants to keep their 80% margins(manufacturing price wise).

of course it's hard to know what went through the heads at Amazon, the initial tariff news were crazy and Amazon doesn't want a recession, as it's bad for business
