just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

Bessent says that little girls who are sad about having fewer dolls should just have it explained to them that they will have a better life for it

I certainly didnt have 20 dolls, but I did have them, and played house a lot!
Confession: I played with Barbies until I was 13! Gave them up when I had my first serious crush! 😂😂
People aren't worried about children's toys. They're concerned about their homes, their jobs, cars, food, medications, necessities, etc.
Journalists should at least try to redirect to the actual issues.
Just like car parts.
But dolls, so who cares
Good times.
- being only able to buy two gallons of gas, instead of a fill.
- only getting 2 oz chuck, instead of a 16 oz tenderloin.
- telling a middle age school teacher on Friday afternoon, that she can only have a three once glass of wine, instead of a bottle.
It's more so when MAGAts hear people complain about real issues they just think "dolls."
Also Trump ranted it and is just a pedo rapist.
(Aside: language of gender stereotypes is the only one they know.)
It's putting girls in their place.
A gendered way to make consumers guilty for Trump's costing them money.
#TerribleAnalogies
Car parts and appliances will be scarce and more expensive. They want us to focus on toys for girls so people think tariffs won’t really harm anything important because who cares about girls and their dolls.
No one is out there talking about the need to limit Hot Wheels to 2 or 3, that no little boy needs 30 toy cars that come from Asia.
No one is telling Trump that all he needs is a driver and putter on the golf course, even those his clubs come from Asia.
I wanted trains! I now HAVE trains! Lionel, HO scale, N scale AND Z scale.
Little girls like all kinds of things & so do little boys.
The tariffs will make ALL products from other countries cost the consumer more $.
In effect a new TAX so multibillionaires can get more money.
Rules for thee & not for me stuff.

Trump is causing your downer.
Got major shrivel? RFKjr did that with his medical malpractice.
Johnson is causing your Johnson to turn gay.
Etc.
Now that would be something that would get their notice j/s
The girls and dolls makes things seem trivial and frivolous, but it won't just be kids crying over toys.
Should I Appeal ?
Bessent’s remarks to the private-jet crowd at the Milken conference were an explicit appeal to a tiny group of ultra-wealthy investors and entrepreneurs.
“The administration’s goal is to make it even more appealing for investors like you,” Bessent said.
It's as sickening as it's always been, but it's just the usual.
All the boot lickers can fuck right off.
The doll and pencil references are just eyerollers in the grand scheme of this clown show, IMO
Not that I disagree with you, I don't. I've been around since b4 Roe v Wade, the EEOC, OSHA. I have lived it.
