You may have noticed that over the past few days Donald Trump has been talking a lot about American children having to be content with fewer dolls this year for Christmas as a result of his moronic trade and tariff war which has raised the price of imported items such as toys.
MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell have certainly noticed, and they discussed Trump’s latest obsession last night as Maddow ended her show and handed the baton to O’Donnell.
“The idea that he thinks that, if you’re raising a kid right now in 2025 in the United States of America, the thing you’re most thinking about is pencils and dolls,” Maddow said. “That those are your real expenses that you’re worried about. … What he thinks the family budget is based around is just a remarkable window into his mind.”
“The most charitable thing that can be said about that is that he’s a 20th-century guy,” O’Donnell noted.
“Nobody needs to eat or get health care but what we have to worry about is our numbers of pencils and dolls,” Maddow cracked.
“Also, are there any boys in this world that have to…?” she continued. “I don’t know, I can’t. Anyway. I don’t know.”
“You don’t have to know, Rachel,” O’Donnell said. “We’re just taking it one day at a time trying to figure this out.”
Good luck trying to figure out anything that comes from Trump’s mouth. He talks a lot but doesn’t manage to actually say anything, probably because he’s a vapid blowhard with an opinion on everything but knowledge of nothing.
