"Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls.

[senseandsensibility]

and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

trump babbling just now at his "press conference" and showing how he has his finger on the pulse of America's economic concerns.

[Hekate]

1. Is he dead yet?

[senseandsensibility]

6. No, but apparently

irony is since the WH press corps just accepted this as a normal answer to concerns about the supply chain. Remember when they were so concerned about Biden's mental capacity?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Stenographers make lousy journalists. . . . nt

[senseandsensibility]

13. True, but in the case of Biden

they seemed to find their own voices and opined about his mental capacity all the time. Weird how that works, isn't it?

[FSogol]

11. Only from the neck up.

[MiHale]

15. Dying slowly...Brain for now...

[mwooldri]

32. To me, yes.

I dunno if his heart was ever alive. Reality though is he still exists.

[samnsara]

2. i never bought my daughter or grand daughters any dolls...

...they were always scary

[allegorical oracle]

31. Oh...good for you. Every Xmas my mother dragged me down to a dept store to see

what doll appealed to me. None. She'd get really frustrated (she didn't know I'd figured out who delivers stuff). I wanted horses, not dolls.

Surprised djt even knows about Christmas gifts/kids. Am sure his wives took care of that business.

[roamer65]

3. I just want one doll.

A Dump voodoo doll.

Pins included please.

[Hugin]

7. * snerk *

[roamer65]

16. I had a W voodoo doll.

But Shrub is like a Rhodes scholar compared to Dotard Donnie.

[nolabear]

23. I can hook you up.

Or if you want the real thing I’m sure i can find you one in New Orleans.

[roamer65]

43. 👍👍

[patphil]

4. Translation: He's giving the middle finger to America's economic concerns.

What a dildo that guy is.

[Hekate]

20. Ugh. Minus any pleasure.

[IbogaProject]

24. You spelled Diaper wrong

And your spell check didn't catch it.

[Ping Tung]

5. And, then the kids could trade them for food and other luxuries.

[senseandsensibility]

9. Yeah, that's the ticket

It's three dimensional chess for the three year olds. Or something.

[Journeyman]

8. So we'll get 1/15 of what we want for twice the dough . . .

and we'll all be happy, I presume.

[senseandsensibility]

12. Basically

And the sad part is, the cult will probably buy it.

[unblock]

14. American is better off when America is worse off, apparently.

[taxi]

17. Two out of thirty dolls is the same as two out of thirty breakfasts, or books, or dollars in your pocket.

Lessons learned tell us that when someone is having trouble with paying an electric bill, they are having trouble paying other bills too. It's just the electric bill at this time. Things are being juggled, choosing which bills to pay on time, trying to avoid cutoff dates. It's not as simple as having less toys. He is totally unaware of the most simple things.

[SunSeeker]

37. Exactly, it means your real income just drop by 28/30 or 94%. nt

[newdeal2]

18. If Kamala, Joe, Hillary, or Obama said that

FOX news would be going crazy about how out of touch they are, how they are communists who hate Christmas, etc.

[senseandsensibility]

21. Absolutely

And the Dems need to start calling this out. Can you imagine R's remaining silent if the positions were reversed? Work the refs, people.

[Johonny]

19. Ah, the whole popularism of fuck the kids

Weird that they want more of them, because they seem to really hate them. If my kids were Eric and Jr. I might hate kids too.

[hadEnuf]

22. B-but Donald....

you said children were gonna have 60 dolls when you took over and they'd be cheaper.

I guess you forgot to mention that you were going to drive the country into a ditch in 3 months?

[senseandsensibility]

28. Do his cult members even listen to/remember what he says?

Guess not. But it sounds like some are starting to wake up.

[Aviation Pro]

25. Motherfucker really fucking said that

And nobody asked about his fixation on a toy normally associated with little girls?

Where are the Epstein files, AG Blondie?

[Irish_Dem]

26. Sounds like his children and grandchildren are spoiled rotten.

He assumes everyone else is like Trump crime family.

[pandr32]

27. Perhaps we should start saying he fired Santa Claus...

and the whole toy making elf community at the North Pole.
Stick it on him.

[chelsea0011]

29. Does anyone believe this guy

has ever bought a toy for any of his children?

[womanofthehills]

30. He's so out of touch

All the little girls want iPhones.

My friend just bought her 4 yr old granddaughter an iPhone for her birthday.

[Karasu]

33. This coming from the guy who started his first business with a "small loan of a million dollars" from fucking Daddy.

No American needs fucking disingenuous lectures on "frugality" from an administration full of billionaires and their bootlickers.

Fuck austerity, fuck your crime syndicate of a party, and fuck you, Krasnov.

[Blasphemer]

34. He clearly wants to be impeached and convicted. Put him out of his misery GOP. nt

[xuplate]

35. How the grinch stole Christmas

[SunSeeker]

36. As that Aussie economist Justin Wolfer just said on MSNBC about that...

If suddenly you can only afford 2 dolls instead of 30, that means your real income has fallen by 94%, which means we are in a DEPRESSION.

BTW, I am crushing HARD on Justin Wolfer.

[senseandsensibility]

38. Love him

[Abolishinist]

39. This just in.

Lawrence O'Donnell, wondering what fRump's name would be were he on the Sopranos...

Donny "2 Dolls"

[bdamomma]

40. Anyone

believe in "voodoo dolls" I want this one.

[Abolishinist]

42. He's such an economist.

The locally owned gift store that normally sells $150,000 worth of dolls over the holiday season will now rack up sales of $10,000. Assuming a 50% markup, they've cut their contribution toward fixed costs/overhead/profits by $70,000.

What a pathway to a Going out of Business Sale!

And of course, the tariff 'income' would be up in smoke as well.
