Yes, Trump called the toy company Mattel a country

During a May 8, 2025, news conference, U.S. President Donald Trump called the toy company Mattel a country.

Rating: True

Context
While it is true that Trump referred to Mattel as a country, he quickly said "his toys" — referring to Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz — would have to bear 100% duties, indicating he understood Mattel made toys. He also added, "I wouldn't want to have him as an executive too long," which suggested he may have known Mattel was a company.

There is no proof he was referring to Mattel's CEO when he said "his toys". He never mentioned the guys name before that. Snopes has become so pathetic. I'm surprised they admitted Trump called Mattel a country. Everything they said beyond that is total Trump covering bullshit.
