You know Trump's IQ isn't that high.
This really feels like a "Let them eat cake" or "Don't you people have phones?" quotable moment, even if it'll be buried soon enough under everything else.![]()
President Trump: 'Maybe the Children will Have 2 Dolls Instead of 30'
As the White House pushes forward with tariffs, toymakers brace for fallout while the President downplays consumer consequences, sparking concern across the industry.toybook.com
Such a bullcrap "rich person" answer, even before you start to math the how much a product would have to increase in cost to go from "30" of something to 2.
On his steep tariffs against China – which reached 145% on some goods – Trump dismissed widespread economic concerns about price increases for American consumers. “Everybody’s gonna be just fine,” the president insisted, despite analyses from Moody’s and other financial institutions projecting thousands of dollars in additional costs for American families.
“It’ll raise prices on everything from electronics to clothing to building houses,” Moran said.
“You don’t know that. You don’t know whether or not China’s gonna eat it,” Trump countered, claiming his tariffs were necessary to address trade imbalances that made the US economy “not sustainable”.
Genuinely embarrassing to watch. I'm sure it means nothing to his followers, bootlickers, and die hards, but sweet ******* Jesus.![]()
Trump pressures journalist to accept doctored photo as real: ‘Why don’t you just say yes?’

an 80 year old toddler that seventy million people decided was the most qualified person to run the country.
I'm not clear on whether the MS-13 photoshop was intended to be passed off as undoctored or whether it was made to demonstrate what each finger tattoo meant.![]()

I'm pretty sure it was added to show what someone thought all the tats meant.I'm not clear on whether the MS-13 photoshop was intended to be passed off as undoctored or whether it was made to demonstrate what each finger tattoo meant.
That is what seems the most likely to me and also it is the funnier answer. Someone made it to double down for the benefit of redhats, but hilariously, accidentally tricked the President of the United States into thinking something that they didn't even intend to trick anyone into.I'm pretty sure it was added to show what someone thought all the tats meant.
My auto mechanic friend reports that he knows a snowbird who's in Florida and who had gas stations refuse to sell gasoline to him because they saw his Canadian license plate. They believe EVERYTHING Trump says, and they're angry at Canadians for flooding the US with Fentanyl and stealing $200 billion from American taxpayers every year like Trump says.
America has squandered all of its international soft power, because when you levy sanctions on your friends, you can't use the threat of sanctions to make countries want to stay on your good side.
It used to be that when America said "change your policies or we'll levy sanctions against you", people in other countries would take notice. But now that America has said "actually, you can be our friend and ally for generations and we'll still levy sanctions against you anyway", there's no point being America's friend anymore, and so all of that soft power, built up over a hundred years, has evaporated away. And it only took 100 days.
Trump's entire business history is basically him selling overpriced goods and services to people who can't tell the difference between solid gold and gold-plating. And his idiot supporters thought he was the guy to fight inflation.
Yup, because international prices are usually calculated based on the US price, then add the exchange, and whatever fees and markups that can be gotten away with.Xbox hardware and software prices going up significantly in the UK as well. The tariffs aren’t just affecting the States…
