Trump: If Mattel, they're the only country I've heard that said, 'we're gonna try going someplace else.' Let 'em go and we'll put a 100% tariff on their Barbies, and he won't sell one toy in the US

The Heritage Foundation is trying their damndest to get him impeached…so they can put JD in to finish their treason plan. But they made the Teflon Con and now they can’t get rid of him!
I think that's more or less what's happened. Heritage et al knew that Trump was a very powerful vehicle they could use. He needs other people to give him an agenda and lists of judges to pick. (Because he's stupid). But when you hook yourself onto Trump you also get his obsessions. So here we are.
I'm a Barbie girl in a Maga world
Dearer plastic, how fantastic
Can't afford a pair, tariffs everywhere
Decimation of a trading nation
Poor Barbie, a Maga party
Dearer Barbie in a Maga world
Maga's plastic, make up drastic
Tariffs unfair, Donald doesn't care

DISGUSTING hearing Starmer grovel when Trump threatening Canada and trying to bring it to its knees. THE SEA OF CAPITULATION the WSJ only outlet w any courage to speak the truth. I just subscribed. Cannot believe the KING of England groveling instead of Canada support. Sickening.
Well, Biden did say something akin to that, & the press & the opposition party gave him a hard time about it. Other than a few comments like these, you won't see the same reaction to misstatements like this. It's just Trump, & we excuse everything we never accepted from any other president.
To drill down on that a little.. "we excuse everything". Of course a lot of people don't excuse him. But he has just enough people who'll excuse him anything, to get elected- which is a bfd. For the rest of us.. we get frustrated, we get angry. Sick. Exhausted. Disheartened.
A Barbie can still be purchased for under $10, so even with tariff, you're up in the 20-dollar range. An American Girl doll starts at over $100, making it $200 to $250 before tariffs. I think a lot more families can manage Barbies than American Girl dolls.
That’s unfortunate. American Girl dolls are educational and made to last for generations (before Mattel cheapened the quality.) At $125, they cost as much as some women spend on manicures.
So.... it's not about punishing China; it's about punishing little girls and their families. Actually, I think he's trying to make Americans mad enough to hit the streets by the millions so he can declare martial law.
Bingo. Project 2025 called for him to use the border to justify declaring Martial Law. He sent the military to the border, he's flirting with ways to go about it but he was supposed to have a lawyer or whoever analyze the situation at the border & determine if he has the justification to declare ML.
Except, the border is, apparently, quiet. So, they couldn't logically say that he had justification to use ML.
This is really out there but, since we're speculating, what if you're correct & he is trying to get the people to that point AND what if that's the real reason for his military parade? He
plans to transport all these tanks, fighter jets, military service members, etc into DC so it's all already there. After all, he saw what happened on Jan 6th & how the resources in DC alone barely kept the mob from coming face to face with Pence & Congress members. So, now here he is getting people
all riled up & then he's bringing enough military personnel & equipment to conquer a small country into DC all at once; & because it's under the guise of being a giant parade, other than grumbles about the price & road damage, no one is going to try & stop him. Just a (scary) thought...
Don't worry, baby, you can have a D average, 34 felonies and a multitude of fraud judgements, and rape women and still be president! Aren't you lucky to be a white man?
Is he referring to Matell as a country and also a person in the same sentence? What’s next, calling Optimus Prime a gang member? Deporting My Little Pony?
Hey @factpostnews.bsky.social - don't put something in quotes if you're going to change what the person said. It's bad enough as it is, you don't have to erode your trustworthiness by changing the quotation.
He is really wallowing in his power. It's like a drug to him and he will just keep getting worse as the euphoria will lessen over time and then we will see the extent of his cruelty.
I listened to it and… it’s more accurate to what he said than the closed captioning done by Fox News. I falsely said that originally it was accurate, but there are inaccuracies. Trump said toys and not Barbie. They didn’t include the “That’s ok.” He said in the middle etc
Honestly I think the only thing I’d actually contend was a deliberate misquote was swapping out toys for Barbies. Not sure why they’d put that as what he said
Honestly I don’t even care at this point. The Nazi GOP lied, and continue to lie, constantly in an effort to destroy every facet of the United States. If we have to distort or exaggerate the truth a little to save it, then I guess it’s whatever. It sucks but high road hasn’t worked.
I mean, I’m not going to personally spread disinformation, but why does right-wing media get to do that so blatantly to the point we are taken over by literal fascism because they’ve duped the general populace with lies? At the very least we need to launch robust propaganda campaigns to counter them

It's all revenge driven.
It's all personal.

Donald Trump is not well.
WTF! The country of Mattel?
His lie-filled rants a big “tell”.
He should be in a padded cell.
Last resort Lincoln Logs. The pitched roofs never stay on there but you get a shelter of sorts and no tariffs.
Bless him.😱🤦🏼🤦🏼
