Mattel isn’t worried though. They’ll just monitor Signal to develop a counter plan.

Mattel is an American toy maker headquartered in El Segundo. They sell products in something like 150 countries. Trump is nuts. Someone should put that on the evidence list for a guy losing it rapidly.

Where is the Gulf of Mattel, anyway?

pink fluffy open fields.

But they went out of business in 1980. I can hear it now, commie toys!

they don't like being laughed at

Probably meant to say "company".

all along, including the MSM - sanewashing him by saying what they *think* he meant. Let's just go by what he SAYS instead of trying to somehow justify it by cleaning it up.

are doing the opposite ("insanesplaining"?). And, that's not what I "think" he meant, it's (IMO) what the probably is he meant (there is a difference). And no, I'm not trying to clean up anything that Presidense Trump says or does.

When he suggests Mattel won't sell one toy in the US. Mattel is a US company.

ETA: I found a longer clip - what he seems to be saying is that Mattel was threatening to leave the US - and if they did, he would put a 100% tariff on their toys (since they would all be imported from wherever they go) so they won't sell a single toy on the US.

And BTW, not "sanesplaining".

excerpting a statement so that it is devoid of context is just as bad in the opposite direction.

But he knows nothing about the company. He doesn't even know the CEOs name. He is fucking stupid. Sad really.
