Just call him the Orange Grinch

 We'll start with Farron Cousins as he discusses Donald Trump's latest harebrained scheme.....


For years, the GOPers falsely claimed there was a war on Christmas, but now, it seems they'd be on board with the Orange Grinch and his 100% tariffs on Mattel.

But I think we know who wouldn't be on board, and that would be WWE, which has a licensing deal with Mattel dating back to 2009. Today's action figures don't come cheap to begin with, but jacking up prices of WWE action figures (i.e. Bron Breakker, Tiffany Stratton, Rhea Ripley) will make a lot of kids very upset if their parents can't afford them.

The idea behind this is that Trump wants all products to be made in the USA, instead of being outsourced to China and elsewhere. Once again, that has the stench of his head troll, Stephen Miller, giving him bad ideas. And this is the nuttiest of bad ideas.

Watch. It won't take long before Trump backs off again on the tariffs, and his brand of bullying is getting tiresome.
