Donald Trump Channels Marie Antoinette

I imagine Donald Trump had hundreds of dolls i.e., action figures to play with as a child. We know that the Manhattan Trump Tower had an entire floor for Barron Trump’s toys, including a Mercedes Benz, electric toy car, which had the logo and a license plate reading ‘BARRON’.

The manchild with doll hands still has dolls on his mind. In response to warning that his tariffs will lead to empty store shelves, Trump said: “Maybe children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.”

Trump grew up in a billionaires’ milieu where every young girl has dozens of dolls to play with, but if a working-class family were gifted 30 dolls, they would sell most of them on eBay to help pay the bills.

A disturbing image just came to me: the buffoon dressed in drag as Marie Antoinette saying, “let them eat cake, and let their daughters play with two dolls.”

Trump does not care how his tariffs will impact ordinary Americans, not only will they impact the price of toys made in China, but they will impact the price of houses, cars, furniture and just about every product imaginable.

All I need is one doll, a voodoo doll to represent Trump. I would insert a pin in his heart.

We know the fate that befell Marie Antoinette, Trump would be well-advised to reconsider his catastrophic tariffs war.
