The president was asked by a reporter on Wednesday if he had spoken with Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, about the tariffs that have sparked a potentially costly trade war between the countries, and have led to predictions of empty shelves before the end of the year as imports dry up.

Trump said he had not, and offered his own prediction as to how Christmas might look for American families.

“Somebody said, ‘Oh, the shelves are gonna be open.’ Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls,” he said.

“So maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally.”

Some real “let them eat cake”/“it’s one banana, Michael” vibes. Like the average American family has been buying “30 dolls” for their kids for Christmas for years. And people thought Biden and Kamala were out of touch with the economy?

Every single time I listen to these meetings as they all jerk off their Dear Leader I can’t help but cringe. Like when he has a speech and they need to give a standing ovation every 15 seconds for saying literally anything. It’s so forced and fake that you can clearly tell that some those on board are sick of the act. Half of them look dead on the inside when it’s not their turn to speak and they are so over the top with addressing him it’s obvious they are terrified of stepping out of line.

And if I had a chance to ask them anything I’d ask if the power and privilege they get by selling their soul really worth being so terrified that you can’t even speak your own thoughts anymore? Is putting yourself in a state of perpetual self censorship for fear of committing a thought crime and to lose what makes you a human anymore really worth it?

They drank Flavor Aid at Jonestown. Kool Aid just got all the bad? good? PR because it was misidentified by investigators and witnesses in testimony.

Regional branding. This is the Q-Tip issue: it didn’t matter which company makes the product, the term has fallen into common usage to refer to a generic thing, in this case, powdered flavored sugar that you reconstitute in water. Or the beverage of your choice.

That’s an interesting fact that I didn’t know, though.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
