April 29, 2025 (Casper, WY) — Rasner Media today announced it has formally fired Amazon and Jeff Bezos from any potential involvement in its $47.45 billion bid to acquire TikTok and move its headquarters and operations permanently to the United States.
The decision comes after explosive reporting this morning exposing Amazon's plans to weaponize price displays to attack President Trump’s pro-American tariff policy while cozying up to Chinese communist interests.
“We will not accept phone calls from Jeff Bezos or his representatives at Amazon until they choose America over China. Period,” said Rasner Media CEO Reid Rasner. “Amazon’s leadership chose political games and communist propaganda over the American people—and Rasner Media refuses to reward that betrayal of our nation and President Trump.”
A People's Offer, A Trillion-Dollar Legacy
Rasner Media’s acquisition proposal—dubbed “The People's Offer”—is the only bid that puts Americans first and was called the "most Trumpian" bid in a recent Truth Social post shared by President Trump on his personal social media account. Rasner Media's proposal has also been formally endorsed by South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden, the South Dakota Board of Regents and Jason Rappert, founder and president of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers, among others.

Rasner Media has pledged:
- To create a new trillion-dollar media and commerce industry in America's heartland.
- To make TikTok a free speech platform that empowers users, pays them for their data if they opt in, and protects American interests for generations to come.
- To set aside 5% equity to seed President Trump's American Freedom Fund—ensuring the American people have a permanent stake in the platform’s success.
Rasner concluded:
"Our mission is simple: To put America first and to give President Trump and the American people a victory that can never be taken away. When we launch our newly imagined TikTok shop, Amazon’s customers are about to find out who their real champion is—and it’s not Xi-Jing-Jeff. It’s Rasner Media."
