President Donald Trump on Wednesday acknowledged that his tariffs could result in fewer and costlier products in the United States, saying American kids might “have two dolls instead of 30 dolls,” but he insisted China will suffer more from his trade war.
Except the kids aren’t getting 2 dolls. They’re getting dragged out into the middle of the street half naked in the middle of the night because the brownshirts can’t even read an address correctly when they’re casually disappearing whole families.
Why the fuck is this even reported on. Fuck this whole system, down to the author that thought ‘ya that’s worth making an article’
Don’t buy your kids dolls. Buy them fpv drones.
People are going to die in the streets due to the impact of these policies.
Even if this were true, a policy that hurts everyone isn’t sucessful just because someone else suffers more than you.
It is for Republicans
It wouldn’t even be a pyrrhic victory. It would just be mutual suffering.
Isn’t this the whole ideology of the US. Always kick downwards?
If your whole policy is to own the libs, it kind of is.
If your suffering is negligibly small and your opponent’s – critical for him, then you can demand something.
Imagine a war where all sides are losing soldiers but one side is winning.
But in the case of China I’m not sure who will suffer more in the long run.
Cause American girls were getting 30 dolls every Christmas.
This guy is such a psychopath that he doesn’t even understand how Christmas gifts work.
113 American Girl dolls would be expensive as shit though - I think with all the accessories and accoutrements you’re looking at the price of a decent used car. The newer models are also shittier (less history focused, because Mattel lol)
The books though - they went hard. There was an entire series about about an enslaved girl who escaped to the north with her mom (I wanna say Addie?). Felicity, the American Revolution girl, stole a horse and got told what the consequences could have been (like, iirc it’s like “yeah you could have totally been hanged for that stunt.”)
I was too broke for the dolls, but if you have a kid - the books are A-tier children’s historical fiction.
“The american people will suffer but china will suffer more.” So hes hurting us to hurt them? Great job dumbass.
China is happily selling to the rest of the world, and yes their sales will go down without the US market, but they won’t in sense of the word “suffer”.
Goddamn fucking piece of shit fucking moron
I don’t think most kids get 30, but is he already talking about how Christmas is going to be? Tomorrow is May 1st. That is 7 months away.
Buy presents right now. I’m serious.
I think what he‘s trying to say is that everything will be 15 times as expensive so it‘s not that-… oh my gosh…
its the WEAVE, weaving 9 incomprehensible things together in trumps mind into one that his magats can digest.
The rich will still get 30 and a new sports car
“It’s One Banana, Michael. What Could It Cost, $10?”
Can’t wait to see what happens when China stops buying our debt.
Suffering is the point
Everyone knows the goal of running a country is to make people suffer. Not to accomplish anything positive. That would be GlObAlIsM
If Utilitarianism is about maximizing overall benefit and minimizing harm, Trump is an Inutilitarian
Yeah, I’m sure China’s trembling at the mere idea.
What is trump now? a buddhist? How is a child with 30 dolls suffering? unless they are suffering from too much happiness.
