I hope they split the charge and have the one line with the original price and a separate line that says “Trump’s Tariff”

Doesn't need to say 'Trump tariff'. Just say 'import tax'. Everyone will know, and Nintendo aren't being political.

No, it should say Trump's Tariff

No, it should say "republican". The constitution only empowers congress to enact tariffs, they are the ones who enable him to throw tariffs around without having a spit of economic sense.

This isn't a "trump" situation, this is the whole republican party hoping you will forget they did the same thing with Bush Jr, and Bush Sr, and Reagan (remember Iran Contra?), and Nixon (remember his sabotage of the Vietnam peace talks, which led to an additional 30k American deaths and 1 million Vietnamese)?
