Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

He wasn't wearing a green suit and hat, but President Donald Trump sounded a Grinch-like warning, suggesting American children may have to settle for fewer toys at Christmas because of his tariffs on products from China. Trump, who has argued that China will bear the brunt of his tariffs, acknowledged during a Cabinet meeting on April 30 that the duties may mean fewer " and more expensive " products available for American families. "You know, somebody said, Oh, the shelves are going to be open,'" he said. "Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally."

All the liberal tears for the lack of their cheap Chinese made crap products. It is funny - the Dems blame Trump for being controlled by Putin but then turn around and take their marching orders from the CCP and repeat the CCP talking points free of charge.

CCP talking points

The child-raping orange shitstain and his favorite hose bag Ivanka can't get enough of those sweet Chinese trademarks.

"the lack of their cheap Chinese made crap products."

The top three Chinese exports to the US are Broadcasting Equipment (including Phones), Computers, and Office Machinery.

You know...crap the Americans can do without.

They are not designed in China or reliant on Chinese chips dipshit. They are just assembled there. For example, China has NOTHING to do with the iPhone - they just assemble it there under a Taiwanese manufacturer. As we speak, the assembly of iPhone is being shifted to India and by 2026, barring a change in tariffs, iPhones will no longer be made in China. The same is for all consumer electronics, etc.

SCOTTS

Trump is trashing our economy with his tariff war. The same thing happened when McKinley tried it.

Since you don't seem very informed, the Chinese and U.S. are NOT in talks to lower tariffs.

Also, the rest of the world has turned their backs on the U.S. as a stable democracy and safe place to park money.

Trump. One word, one man. He trashed our image. Soon, we'll all be feeling the pain.

SCOTTS is one of those people who thinks the best thing that can happen is for the United States to burn to the ground so that something closer to his nasty, fascist vision can be installed.

People like him are vipers biting the breast that fed them.

This "two dolls" statement for American kids was remarkable.

Soon enough Trump will be called "Donnie Two Meals".

Watching the replay of Old Yeller's yammering, paying attention to affect, what he seemed to be saying was, "Kids? What kids? Oh, those kids, your kids. Well, flock em."
