Trump says US kids may get ‘2 dolls instead of 30,’ but China will suffer more in a trade war

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.

People are going to die in the streets due to the impact of these policies.

Why isn’t it “rich people will have 1 yacht rather than 4”?

Even if this were true, a policy that hurts everyone isn't sucessful just because someone else suffers more than you.

China's economy is still projected to grow while US heads to recession , this guy tries to create his own reality everywhere he goes.

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.

A real "let them eat cake" moment.

"The american people will suffer but china will suffer more." So hes hurting us to hurt them? Great job dumbass.

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.

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.

If he understood anything about his electorate, he would know that it would be a choice of 1 meal a day instead of 3, if the rent is still paid.

Goddamn fucking piece of shit fucking moron

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".

I don't think most kids get 30, but is he already talking about how Christmas is going to be? Tomorrow is May 1st. That is 7 months away.

Let them eat cake!

Because that's what it's all about - someone else suffering more. The objective is to increase the amount of suffering in the world, since we clearly don't have enough of it just yet, but making sure others suffer more than us. Because trying to make it so that everyone suffers less is communist, unamerican and bad, I guess...

Nothing like a rich guy who has never known struggle to tell everyone else they need to struggle because he's a moron

Can't wait to see what happens when China stops buying our debt.

"It's One Banana, Michael. What Could It Cost, $10?"

Why parrot his bullshit in the headline? China will not suffer as much as the US. This is such bullshit.

Everyone knows the goal of running a country is to make people suffer. Not to accomplish anything positive. That would be GlObAlIsM

“People are worried, even some people who voted for you, saying ‘I didn’t sign up for this.’ So how do you address those concerns?” ABC host Terry Moran asked Trump.

“They did sign up for it, actually, and this is what I campaigned on,” Trump replied. He added, when questioned about price increases on electronics, clothing and homebuilding, that “China probably will eat those tariffs.”

Man I hope democrats use that ammunition he left sitting there for the next 80 years.

More like two meals instead of three

Yeah, I'm sure China's trembling at the mere idea.

Ah yes, the country with an established industrial base and centrally planned infrastructure is gonna suffer more from tariffs than the checks notes usury and consumption economy run by competing interests and bolstered almost entirely by the ownership of foreign assets and reliance on its currency for international trade.

Honestly my only conclusion is that they know and are willing to create an economic crisis for the purpose of consolidating political power in the form of "emergency measures" as fascists usually do. I refuse to believe they are just stupid

Except a doll is $10 for the crappiest model, meaning were already only getting two dolls in the average budget. With that logic, we'll have to save up for the doll parts and assemble a single doll ourselves.

Even the Grinch didn't go on TV to tell peoole he was stealing Christmas.

Cutting off your nose to spite China

Trump singlehandedly destroying American overconsumption.

Americans are basically winning because they aren't suffering the most

American kids might “have two dolls instead of 30 dolls,”

Operating on the assumption that most households aren't buying their kids 30 dolls (and those that do are probably going to be under the least economic pressure to cut spending), if American households actually cut spending on their kids by a proportional 93% of whatever they were going to spend, I expect that midterms are going to be interesting.

We are already at a family video game for the kids to share and a really good dinner for the week.

Fuck this shit.

Nobody cares about how many dolls kids are getting.

Trump has no idea how the world works at all

Almost everything we buy is from china including MAGA goods. This moron does not have a clue

Donny "2 dolls" trump.

“Kids might get two calories per day instead of 2,000. But hey, Chinese kids will suffer too!”

Is an anti-consumerism Trump on anyone's bingo card??

What is trump now? a buddhist? How is a child with 30 dolls suffering? unless they are suffering from too much happiness.

Let Barbie eat cake!

Hey as long as someone's suffering right?

but wait until he can't find a good inflatable doll any longer...

China: home ownership increasing average income increasing best transportation network for a large, stratified country in the world

Wow yeah sure looks like they're losing.

I make a point of not listening to what felon rapist traitors say.

The Anti-Santa Claus.

I mean if this is what it takes to suppress Republicans, so be it.
