Trump Fires Top Advisor And Raises Toy Prices

His presidency is unraveling at the seams, just like the dolls he’s making more expensive with his tariffs

Not only did Trump confess that his tariffs would raise the cost of children’s dolls before the holidays — and then proceed to shrug it off as if it didn’t matter (which it doesn’t, to billionaires like himself) — but Stephen Miller just took it even further and claimed that Americans are willing to pay the extra price to buy American-made dolls.

Here’s what Temu Goebbels said this morning when he was asked about the price hikes on dolls: “If you had a choice between a doll from China that might have lead paint from it that is not as well constructed, as a doll made in America that has a highly environmental and regulatory standard ... and those two products are both on Amazon, that yes, you probably would be willing to pay more.”

First of all

Trump is repealing every environmental regulation that Miller is talking about.

Secondly

No family in America gives a damn about which country the doll came from.

And I can guarantee no family — other than the sycophantic MAGA extremist ones — is willing to pay more money for the same product.

The result

Fewer families will be able to buy dolls for their children this holiday season thanks to Trump’s tariffs — which are not just hitting dolls, but children’s toys and other gift items across the spectrum.

If Biden had done this, Fox News would be airing “Biden Ruins Christmas” headlines on a 24/7 loop every day from now until 2028.

Democrats should do the same to Trump!

Real talk

Democrats have a goldmine of ammunition to use against Republicans — who just yesterday blocked a bill in the Senate to halt Trump’s tariffs.

In other words: Republicans voted to continue the economic carnage.

In my view

The reason there isn’t as much outrage over this is because — quite frankly — most Americans still don’t understand what a tariff is.

They don’t understand that the importer pays the tariff, which is then passed on to the consumer.

Full stop

This is a concept that needs to be explained over and over again by every D-lawmaker — many of whom overestimate the average intelligence of the American electorate.

Translation: Beat voters over the head with the fact that Trump’s tariffs are a sales tax that they themselves have to pay (and explain it to them like they’re five years old).

The takeaway

Trump’s tariffs will eventually lead to empty shelves, and the items that remain on shelves will be more expensive.

When this starts happening at scale, Americans will be furious and will need someone to blame.

Let’s make sure Dems stay loud as hell in correctly blaming Trump and the Republicans — before Trump and Republicans erroneously blame the Dems!

Most importantly

Mike Waltz was just ousted as Trump’s National Security Advisor. He’s apparently taking the fall for the Signal chat scandal and has “stepped down” — effective immediately.

A.K.A. the firings have begun. Here’s to hoping more are on the way.

Happy Thursday, guys!
