      President Donald Trump has threatened to place a 100 percent tariff on Barbie maker Mattel, after the company’s CEO said it would continue to manufacture outside the U.S. but would be reducing its reliance on Chinese imports.

      „I’ve heard [Mattel] said: ‚Well we’re going to go counter, we’re going to try going someplace else,'“ Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday. „That’s OK, let him go, and we’ll put a 100 percent tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States, and that’s their biggest market.“

      The shakedown!

      Nice company you have here. Sure would be a shame if something happened to it.

      Trump really is mad at the entire underage girl market for some reason.

    4. This is what MAGAs voted for. A 78 year old obese man raging on about Barbie dolls.

      You just know the magaloids are already planning their Barbie burning parties – cause when you’re in that cult you must not ever contradict the pumpkin potenturd

    6. A temper-tantrum throwing toddler raging about all the dolls he doesn’t get to play with….

    7. Well we were only getting 1/15ths of our allotted barbie dolls this Christmas anyways. Now the GrinchOP is coming for the rest

      All he cares about is being the center is attention. He doesn’t care about the country or our people.

      Wait until he finds out literally every major toy company makes their stuff in asia…. also I’m fairly sure 99% of this guys merch is made outside the US too prob just down the streets from the factories Mattel uses

    10. How exactly is that an emergency that allows him to put tariffs in the first place?

      Mattel’s biggest plant for producing Barbies is located in West Java, Indonesia. Its been operating in Indonesia for over 30 years.

      Indonesia has been hit with 36% tariffs by Trump.

      One of the issues between Indonesia and the US when discussing tariffs was status of the Mattel;s production facility in Indonesia.

      So Mattel has the ability to move production outside of China. They have plants in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Mexico.

      Will he be being paying 100% tariff’s on his own maga hats and tRump crap that he has manufactured outside the US?

    13. BunnyBlossomz on

      Lol what? This sounds ridiculous. Why would he even care about Barbie dolls? Feels like he’s just trying to stir up drama for no reason.

    14. Targeting a specific company for concessions. Pretty sure this is just racketeering and this will be some giant RICO case at some point, or the world can hope

      🎵 I’m a Barbie girl, in a Trumpy world…
      Tariff’s are drastic, it’s stochastic…
      Cupboards are threadbare, shelves empty everywhere…
      Imagination? life now’s just inflation. 🎶

      TRUMPCO Toys now announces the new line of Ivanka dolls, made with genuine American child labour for $129.99 each or $3999.99 for 30. Cheap!

    17. On April 30th, Trump said, “*Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls*.” By May 8th, he was threatening a 100% tariff on Barbie so no dolls would be sold at all.

      So in April it was “*fewer dolls*,” in May it’s “*no Barbie at all* “ – can’t wait for June, when he accuses Mr. Potato Head of colluding with China and demands all toys be grown on American soil
