‘What is this, the Soviet Union?’: Senators rip Trump’s call to limit doll purchases
Senators with children weren’t impressed with the billionaire president’s call for tariff-weary parents to limit Christmas toy purchases
I genuinely can't imagine how this pedophile billionaire could sound more out-of-touch and apathetic. Anyone who still approves of him is a fucking idiot.
That’s the point. He’s not talking about himself or his fellow swampdwellers. He’s talking about the plebs, who will have to get used to having less while working harder - because Trump and his oligarch buddies have taken it all.
Trump and his oligarch buddies have taken it all.
And they demand MORE.
Anyone who still approves of him is a fucking idiot.

Always has been.
No, it's the America you lot voted for.
How's it feel being great again?
I voted for Kamala Harris. Before that I would have voted for Bernie Sanders.
Kamala Harris targeted Republican women for a good portion of her campaign, and dropped a lot of the very popular Democratic platform, resulting in millions of Democrats sitting this one out.
Do you think this is because they are stupid? Why would they do this if not to take a knee? And I still thought that Trump would lose, I couldn't believe that he would be re-elected. I'm never cynical enough.
Imagine if she ran on a $15 an hour minimum wage increase, helping many millions of our poorest Americans, with over 60% voter support (not Democrat). Our consumer economy would get millions of new consumers participating.
Ds and Rs are now 30% each, independents are 40% of the voters. Both parties know that they cannot win without a majorly popular independent issue. Why was this ignored?
Oh, almost forget, yes, I know, BoTh SiDeS and so on.
Are there some fundamental differences between Dems and GQP? Sure, some, but as a person who has taken an outside view of politics through expanding my political knowledge and understanding, when it comes down to it they only have surface level differences. When Madami was running for Mayor of New York the Democrat establishment threw every nasty thing they could to STOP him. Get this straight, they would have rather a MAGA win than an avowed Democratic Socialist. THAT tells me what I really need to know about the majority of the Democrats in the party.
The vast majority of Americans didn't vote for this. Two thirds of us didnt vote for this. If you think this is the voters' fault, you dont understand the world very well, my friend.
America has a two party system where both parties are controlled by capitalists and the entire system is designed to keep the populous divided and distracted so that the capitalists can continue to extract wealth. In such a system, participation itself is the moral choice, not the choice between one side or the other.
Voters give legitimacy to the false dichotomy that capitalists present us.
I'm confused by your comment. Are you saying two thirds didn't want this specifically, or are you counting non-voters as opponents of Trump?
My guess is that most of the non-voters, if forced to vote, would have voted Trump. He had name recognition. These types of citizens couldn't name the current Vice President any more than they could find the USA on a world map.
How does it feel to be a smug, unhelpful asshole?
We didn't all vote for the the orange clown.
Feels great actually.
the America you lot voted for
Every two years we vote. Every two years things get worse.
Clearly, the problem is with the people doing the voting. Couldn't possibly be something fundamentally dysfunctional in our democratic model.
I see it as a two part problem. One, the current party setup one party ratchets us towards fascism, the other obstructs attempts to go back for "bi-partianship." Secondly, I hear most swing voters consider themselves moderates and from experience along with other's inspection of them, they're only concerned about order until it affects them. In thusly they're essentially just a brand of conservatism. Sounds a lot like the typical liberal.
No, it's a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
When asked to respond to the president’s call for parents to possibly limit doll purchases when approached while returning to his orifice. Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, a fellow Republican who has a 5-year-old daughter, quipped that he wished someone would say the same to her.
Appropriately funny typo, but the punctuation is fucked up, too. Does anyone proofread these pieces?
Well at least you know an AI didn’t write it.
This is the United States of Consumerism gosh darn it and my child deserves at least 30 Chinese made toys.
Only soulless monsters don’t feel the warm embrace of conspicuous and gratuitous consumption
My kids require toys made by Chinese children!
Pencils and dolls, so hot this holiday season of 1934.
So, did he recently spout off about dolls and pencils again? Because this all happened in May:
Trump says U.S. girls 'could be very happy' with lots fewer dolls under new tariffs
If he did repeat the same nonsense it would be extra wacko this time.
He did. It's so weird that he uses the number 37, specifically, because every time I hear it, I think of Clerks, LOL:
Maybe he's talking about the Shein pedophile dolls.
Maybe not the Soviet Union. More like Putin's Russia, as proxied by Cheeto McPedo.
Barely any difference.
It goes without saying that Trump, who is friends with that communist Mamdani would want to make America more like the USSR /s
But Kamala laughed funny.
Krasnov swings, back and forth, from fascism to communism.
He only used one colour when he drew his pervy picture of a young girl for Epstein.
"They're eating the pencils! They're eating the erasers!".
They're eating, THEY'RE EATING THE LEAD.
When his followers have to stand in line for whatever slop Walmart is willing to sell them that week, they'll blame Democrats.
and Immigrants
They'll say such ridiculous bullshit as "Immigrant shoplifters are causing the stores to raise prices" even though the prices are set by supply:demand equilibrium in order to maximize profits and therefor theft could not and would not affect prices because raising the price in the assumption of theft results in less sales and therefor less profit.
Well, sort of. When you give one man supreme power to do whatever he wants it kind of turns into a dictatorship.
What a dull colourless life he must live with only 2 pencils
No, he has the most pencils. HUGE beautiful pencils. He doesn’t want us to have more than two.
Good to see he’s focusing on real world problems.
He's right you don't need pencils, but you always need steel. I'm going to buy my family a block of steel this year. We always need it! So why not!
Good. More carbon for the steel mills.
Can we expect anything else coming from the-Rump with a moscow mustache?
time to study socialism. does anyone have any tips?
