China to blame for USA spending too much and acquiring personal debt.
Forced austerity?
You will own two dolls and be happy. :)

wait, are you saying the dolls are going to cost us more?

Trump is simply saying the US will have to tighten its belt, since China is mocking the US as being fat and obese, it won't hurt us to tighten our belts.

I for one am ready to do my part and if that means I cannot afford to buy 30 dolls, so be it.

As a consumer of dolls for my absolutely gorgeous five year old grand daughter— I get his point and agree with it.

Her name is Wren, and as the only grand-daughter she has my heart. And given the choice, I would gladly pay an extra five, or even ten dollars to buy her a doll made in America, to American standards of health and safety and environmental regulations, than some Barbie made in China for cheap.

I would buy American! -and then send it to her in Canada. 😎

There is no point to miss.
Everything is big in America.

Big cars.
Big roads.
Big supermarkets.
Big houses.
Running AC in the winter.
Big burgers.
Big portion sizes.
Big drinks.

The rest of the world doesn't come close.
So the 2 dolls people will buy, will be huuuuge too.

The rest of the world?
Small houses.
Small cars.
Small supermarkets.
No AC in the summer.
Small plates.
No ice in the water.

America is number #1 and nobody else including Canada will be #1 anytime soon.

Since I was a child I was a keen observer of what Americans had in their shopping carts when we went to Meijers.

Let's see if I can find a picture....

Is it really not about the dolls, nah... of course the other details are left out, how about the workers who stock the shelves, truckers who move the dolls?

Would he been elected on the platform austerity, not likely.

I just think a leader should be honest, if we can't have that anymore at least the electorate to be honest about this policy, but seems like the real "snowflakes" are the neo-cons.. the lie to me more crowd.

I do not really consider them conservatives.

A true conservative wants to spread the wealth. I want people to be more successful than me.

We can go to the grocery store and buy $1000 dollars worth of rib-eye and treats and junk.......The rest of the world can barely afford a mini carrot.

The left wants to spread the misery of only being able to afford a mini carrot.

If I see a shopping cart that is full of goodies and belly busting junk.....I look for ways so I can do it. The left, wants to empty it, scorn you and put their mini carrot in your cart.

Yes, tell us about how the other 6 billion people on this planet will empathize with the US when they learn our little kids can only have 2 dolls now.

Everyone on this blog realizes that we must tighten our belts. You claim we need to be honest, we all know that and yes, our leaders have told us this.

Internally, the liberals want people to eat bugs while they live in walled mansions with security while eating steak.
So yes, Trump ending all the "green" crap and destroying their dumb talking points does indeed raise their TDS blood pressure.

No one said it would be. Trump ran on a populist platform saying we had to pay off our debt, bring manufacturing back to the US, and "Make America great again" referring to the fact that at one time we led the world in manufacturing and since that point all our factories have left. He is doing what he said he would do and what he was elected to do. The people who voted for him are not stupid, they understand what it means to pay off your debts.

Everyone understood that $36 trillion in debt would soon be impossible to pay off prior to the election. Conservatives understand that when you borrow money you have to pay it back. We have all gone through that experience and we know what that is like and that is why elected him, to pay off the US debts and make us solvent again.

Your money is made of plastic and it features the Queen of England.
Our money is made of top premium materials and it says "In God we trust".

You can't even come close to a Gilded Age.

Time will tell.

I think the USA could see riots in the streets, but then you guys are following Canada's lead and becoming an authoritarian state so most likely the clamp down will not be pretty....... since there will be some who will not acquiesce.

And we really do need to redefine "liberals." There is hardly a liberal around anymore......They are THE LEFT.

Trump is right. Everything the left touches......Goes to...

Men in women's sports is a classic example. You wanted "equality"....You got it.
