President Donald Trump on Wednesday acknowledged that his tariffs could result in fewer and costlier products in the United States, saying American kids might “have two dolls instead of 30 dolls,” but he insisted China will suffer more from his trade war.
Let them eat cake!
Goddamn fucking piece of shit fucking moron
“The american people will suffer but china will suffer more.” So hes hurting us to hurt them? Great job dumbass.
but he insisted China will suffer more from his trade war.
Even if this were true (which is dubious) this doesn’t make me feel any better. That would simply make this a Pyrrhic victory.
What is the point of any of this? Oh yeah, cruelty is the point.
What about the kids who were lucky to get 2 dolls prior to the trade war? Shit outta luck I guess.
Trump has a plan for them too. The coal mines.
They get to BECOME the doll of some rich kid. You woke people really hate freedom.
Reminds me of middle-age tales where when a princeling disobeyed his whipping-boy would get beat.
Yeah, I’m sure China’s trembling at the mere idea.
Except the kids aren’t getting 2 dolls. They’re getting dragged out into the middle of the street half naked in the middle of the night because the brownshirts can’t even read an address correctly when they’re casually disappearing whole families.
Why the fuck is this even reported on. Fuck this whole system, down to the author that thought ‘ya that’s worth making an article’
Don’t buy your kids dolls. Buy them fpv drones.
Sadly, this probably concerns the average voter more than all the Nazi shit…
Donny “2 dolls” trump.
Can’t wait to see what happens when China stops buying our debt.
China is happily selling to the rest of the world, and yes their sales will go down without the US market, but they won’t in sense of the word “suffer”.
Suffering is the point
2 dolls instead of 30 works out to a reduction of 93.3%! That’s HUGE. If that’s supposed to be his positive spin on things, Americans are truly fucked.
It really shows that he doesn’t care about Americans, he cares about punishing and attacking people that he doesn’t like. That is all that matters to him, and he doesn’t hide that. He doesn’t want to make things better, he wants to make people suffer.
The fact that he has supporters is absolutely unfathomable to me. Then again, those same supporters want to punish the same people he does, so it starts to make sense.
He wants to punish Americans more than probably anyone else. Americans had the nerve to laugh at him when people joked about his hair, or makeup, or physique. Americans did not elect him in 2020. Americans allowed him to be forced out and didnt fight back hard enough when Biden “stole” the election. Americans allowed him to have some minor inconveniences when they put him on trial, raided his house for classified docs or made him take reaponsibility for his actions. Americans are going to pay because he knows nothing other than vengence for percieved slights and Americans allowed them all to happen
A real “let them eat cake” moment.
That’s the real statement. Instead of 30 dolls it will be 2, but that translates to food supplies, too. Instead of 30 dinners in a month, we’ll only have 2.
In the year after Maduro took over Venezuela, the average citizen lost 40 pounds.
I could stand to lose 40 pounds honestly
I’ve lost 80 in the last 18 months, but it was my choice, not HitlerPig’s.
Supposedly brioche, but yes point stands.
Cause American girls were getting 30 dolls every Christmas.
This guy is such a psychopath that he doesn’t even understand how Christmas gifts work.
Big “How much could a banana cost? $10?” moment
If a dollar is good, then lots of dollars is even better. To him, toys are like currency for kids, so when he wanted to buy a doll for Ivanka or Eric, he’d give them 30 of the same doll, rather than a bunch of different toys.
Jr just wanted his daddy’s love, which doest exist, so he was shit out of luck.
113 American Girl dolls would be expensive as shit though - I think with all the accessories and accoutrements you’re looking at the price of a decent used car. The newer models are also shittier (less history focused, because Mattel lol)
The books though - they went hard. There was an entire series about about an enslaved girl who escaped to the north with her mom (I wanna say Addie?). Felicity, the American Revolution girl, stole a horse and got told what the consequences could have been (like, iirc it’s like “yeah you could have totally been hanged for that stunt.”)
I was too broke for the dolls, but if you have a kid - the books are A-tier children’s historical fiction.
We are already at a family video game for the kids to share and a really good dinner for the week.
doesn’t sound like you’re sacrificing enough. good dinner should be monthly
This is Christmas Dinner. Once a year 😭
…we get a good dinner once per week on a good week; we get a good week once per month on a good month; we get a good month once per season on a good season; we get a good season once per year…
