#Trump rejected any notion of empty store shelves or increased #prices, but still maintained that #consumers may be affected.
“I’m just saying they don’t need to have 30 dolls. They can have 3,” he repeated on NBC. “They don’t need to have 250 pencils. They can have 5.” [wtf?]
He also focused on certain aspects of the #economy—including #energy prices—& was dismissive of cost increases in other sectors.
#OutOfTouch #tariffs #inflation #recession
…#Trump was criticized last week for suggesting…#consumers would see price increases & may have to do more w/less, making the striking comment that “children will have 2 dolls instead of 30 dolls.”
In the NBC interview he said, “I don’t think that a beautiful baby girl needs—that’s 11 yrs old—needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have 3 dolls or 4 dolls because what we were doing w/China was just unbelievable. We had a trade deficit of hundreds of billions of dollars w/China.”
This is a man who has never fed himself.
He’s been weird about this for months.
#Trump: "I inherited a groceries situation. The groceries went way up. An old fashioned word, but it's a very descriptive word."
What is he talking about?
They are literally called #grocery stores, everyone who doesn’t have butlers, maids, & chefs uses the word #groceries.
I just published a blog essay, Games Billionaires Play, responding to Howard Lutnick's recent callous mulling about stopping Social Security payments to see who makes noise.
I make some counter-proposals about other games we could play.

@VeroniqueB99 Not all are so explosive. I'm particularly fond of the #OutOfTouch #DrunkenBillionairess fatalities. When they drive their Tesla into their private lake and drown trying to push the #TouchScreen which does not function underwater. #MitchMcConnell's #SisterInLaw
Shows how #OutOfTouch #PP #PierrePoilievre is, running his #muted response to #tariffs at the same time as #fordnation. #CPC, you're not the adult in the room. I'm sure he has another #dumb #VerbTheNoun #remix.... #cdnpoli #canpoli #onpoli
It kind of has the same appeal as when #Drunk #OutOfTouch #Billionaires drive their #Tesla into their #PrivateLake in #Texas and drown. #TouchScreensDontWorkUnderwater
@Sable_Shade I killed off my #12thReincarnation on #Xhitter. I keep my #13thInstantiation just because it's #13 and I like to see what #ElmosFlushFlap has been doing. I love it when #OutOfTouch #Billionaires get drunk on their private ranches in #Texas, drive their #Tesla into their #PrivateLake, can't escape and drown because their #TouchScreen is #Underwater--truly #OutOfTouch
If you're still calling it a #lifestyle, you are so #OutOfTouch it's not even funny.
People are born #LGBTQIA and deserve to live and love in the way that makes them happy. Get over it!
Friend messages me with a funny meme based on a pop culture reference.
I don’t get it.
I Google the pop culture reference in order to understand.
I reply to friend: “ROFL, that is so funny! I 𝘵𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 get it!”
I heard the US government is banning Tick Tock. Do I need to get rid of my analog clocks??
Who among us hasn't killed our own hated dog?

Trump VP contender Kristi Noem writes of killing dog – and goat – in new book

After watching reruns of #House I'm wondering if the reason #usamedicalsystem is so expensive is because they all have 2800 sq' #operatingrooms 
So much for #television #accuracy 
Here’s a question that’s likely to piss somebody off.
How do I know what my #pronouns are? I mean that in all seriousness. Are they allowed to change?
He also told me a cousin of mine had died-- I hadn't heard-- she was about a year younger than me, and we were school/play mates long ago, living on the same family farm (same property we both live/lived on in recent years, 1/2 mile apart).... #ExtendedFamily #OutOfTouch
PM says closing railway #ticketoffices is ‘right thing for British public’
It’s absolutely the WRONG thing. #outoftouch #Tories
Rich parents upset that the bag delivery service they use to send loads of crap to their spoiled kids' $15,000 summer camp went out of business... because they planned to go on a family vacation as soon as the brats returned. #OutOfTouch #OverConsumption

Come on, if your kid can't carry their own luggage with them, they're taking too much shit to camp.
So, according to conservative leader Poillivere, a "shack" is a 3-bedroom, 2bathroom 1.5 floor house on a half acre lot. Don't one tell him that the average Toronto apartment is smaller than that! #toronto #outoftouch #idiotpolicitian #conservative #Canada #canadian
