The president sparked absolute nonsense on Sunday. This should trigger speculation about its mental capacity.

On Sunday, President Donald Trump warned the parents that Christmas could be difficult this year, said that the high prices of the stroller did not matter and said that he did not know “if he should maintain the constitution.
“I don't think a beautiful little girl needs – it's 11 years old – does not need to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls.… They don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five. ”
Current number
It was Trump's field to NBC Kristen Welker Meet the press When she asked questions about the previous comments that may be girls will get less dolls for Christmas this year. And for fear that you did not think you had spoken badly, and his staff would make it tail, on Air Force One the same day, he continued his war at Christmas, and on the little American girls, telling journalists: “A young woman, a 10 -year -old girl, a 9 -year -old girl, a 15 -year -old girl, does not need 37 dolls.”
Nobody wants to hear the sexual attacker in series and friend of the late predator Jeffrey Epstein talk about “a beautiful little girl who is 11 years old” or “a 10 -year -old girl, a 9 -year -old girl, a 15 -year -old girl”, as if he remembers her stay on the notorious island of Epstein. Aside from Ick Factor, it is incredible to hear the president say to the parents of America in May, in December, they will have to ration their children's toys. Or does he suggest that the little American girls are spoiled and will grow to become the insolent feminists hated by the Manosphere?
You could discuss, and many will do it, that the real news of Welker's interview came when Trump said: “I don't know” if it is his work to maintain the Constitution – although The New York Times Put it on page 13 – or everyone in the country, either citizens or not, has the right to regular procedure. The Supreme Court knows it, and she has already said yes, although what he will do while Trump continues to flee his decisions is an enormous unanswered question.
But Trump happily grateful that ordinary Americans will feel that the pinch of his prices is also important. Oh, also small businesses? Who cares? He said mainly to Welker. “Why are you still mentioning this?” He asked impatiently. “You know, you take a few small businesses. What about the automotive industry? They will make a fortune because of the prices.” I remember when the Republicans claimed to be the party of small businesses, which has always been a facade anyway. But boasting that he cares more about the auto titans than entrepreneurs in difficulty is only part of the flagrant front of his second mandate for the billionaires – and himself.
Meanwhile, there was a lot of reports on Sunday that the impact of prices can already be seen in the supply chain. World Trade Expert Christopher MIMS DE The Wall Street Journal assembled some of the indicators, including the drop in shipping volume in the main American ports – in A Bluesky wire.
Mims cited the “Guru” supply chain Ryan Petersen predicting: “If they do not change the prices, it will be a level of extinction, a sort of strait of asteroids-the-dinosaurs”, annihilating thousands of companies and millions of jobs.
Dolls and pencils will be the least of our concerns.
I don't want to redo the question if Trump deserves a platform on Meet the press Or if Welker has done a good “job”. His questions were decent, but as for most of his colleagues, his follow -ups were weak or non -existent. To the question of whether Trump has to maintain the constitution, she could have read his oath of him: “I solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States and the will of my capacities, preserves, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” He reserved the right to use the military force to annex Greenland, a territory of NATO Ally Denmark. What could it even mean?
Even without its NBC platform, Trump continued to spit similar nonsense the rest of the day to travel with journalists, and later Truth Social. He made a big news there, first calling for reopening the famous island of Alcatraz prison in the Bay of San Francisco. Closed in the 1960s because it was too expensive to maintain, it is now a phenomenal success museum. (Trump should visit it: the Alcatraz After Dark Tour allows you to locate yourself alone while they turn off the lights. It is frightening even if you are not a career criminal.)
Finally, he announced that he was going to place “100%” prices on films produced in “foreign lands” (100% of what is only a question). He had the stench of fascism, controlling art to the Americans, to whom the Americans are exhibited; It also does not make sense and could seriously harm the American entertainment industry, which he considers as a pillar of the Democratic Party, then maybe that is part of the point.

Why does he have a platform in the first Sunday news show? Likewise, why do I pay attention to this toddler obviously despite, perhaps denied, aged 79? I do not think it deserves a Sunday platform or news during great listening hours. He peddles his goods everywhere. There is nothing exclusivity, or worthy of interest, to make it blatmer. Why do I pay attention? Because I feel like I do. It is tempting to settle madness – many of my friends have done it – but a show like Sunday could really count, possibly.
Overall, Trump's Sunday ramblings are expected to trigger more speculation about his mental capacity, a year after the media hunted Biden from his re -election campaign for much less transgressions. (From, he should have withdrawn much earlier.) Trump's disturbed suggestion that parents should buy fewer dolls or pencils should become household knowledge, and the predicted supply chain and Chinese products shortages materialize.
Trump destroys the economy he inherited. (The Republicans are always reckless when they inherit a good economy of a democrat – See George W. Bush, Trump, then Trump.) His policies are manifested at many cruel and chaotic levels. However, with the exception of immigrants illegally inflicts, including American citizens and federal workers who have lost their jobs, most of us have seen nothing yet. And so we continue to record its dangerous inanities, hoping that the documentation will soon be a difference one day.
