And the bigly brained free market capitalists in his party will cheer while he targets a corporation for engaging in free market capitalism.
I'm old enough to remember when a group of people this collectively deluded were kept in asylums.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

First, it was the Idiocracy movie that started out as parody and became a documentary over time. Now, the Barbie movie is becoming reality right before our eyes. The Kens are in charge, and they are all dumb as posts.
Those were pseudo-documentaries. Don't Look Up matches reality better. And the topic doesn't have to be science related for the comet metaphor to work.
It's funny because after that we found out that a comet probably won't do that much damage if it impacts over the ocean.
I found it off-putting that the Barbie movie’s solution to its dilemma was voter suppression.
There are a lot of problematic parts to the movie that kind of got swept under the rug.
And then it turned out that for the 2024 presidential election, we went back to the Mojo Dojo Casa House.
To be honest I fell asleep watching Barbie early on. I had to read a summary later.
Okay.
First it was 30 dolls. Then it was 2 dolls. Now it’s 0 dolls. HOW MANY DOLLS WILL IT BE NEXT WEEK???!? WHO KNOWS!!
-4 dolls. All patriotic Americans are required to surrender 4 dolls immediately for processing and export to Central America
He'll be Nixon from Futurama.

As someone who manufactures stuff, I can attest that we’re almost all looking at other countries, not standing up US manufacturing.
Standing up manufacturing in the US takes too long and costs too much for us to do when we’re going into a recession.
It's because of the stupid 30 doll example he gave, so he's doing this to back it up. Big brain dementia Donnie.
First it was slapping tariffs on penguins. Now we've entered the "War on Dolls" stage of the Trump administration.
I wish I was joking.
I hate this timeline.
A plague on both their plastic dreamhouses
The EU has a larger population than the US, it might be worth investing in that market
DO IT!
What are they distracting us from this time?
Just authoritarian shit.
I mean, this is part of the authoritarian shit.
Do what I say, or else.
This is how winning is done.
Does that mean we're great again?
Now, a power move from Matel would be to not increase the price after a tariff, and take the loss, or make some sort of "Tariff Barbie" to teach kids about their wonderful president.
they won't do either of those things though, theyre just going to take the punch and roll.
What do Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig say?
My question is: how is he going to succeed if he's pissing of his base? (not the MAGA crowd, the billionaires)
This is what billionaires are paying him to do.
Oh fuck off Trump
Also do dizney!
Well Disney theme parks are gonna take a hit when people are afraid to go to the Untied States. People are still foolishly going now because their trips were planned before all this but once those pre-planned trips are over, Disney theme parks will be a fair bit emptier
Meanwhile, there will be a surge of GI Joe figures
