Lawrence: Donny 2 Dolls Trump's cruelty ignores little girl who asked him to 'make Barbies cheaper'
MSNBC
[{'start': '5.305', 'end': '8.808', 'text': ">> GOOD EVENING. I'M LAWRENCE  O'DONNELL, AND WELCOME TO THE  NEXT 100 DAYS. IT WAS A VERY BAD  DAY IN THE PRESIDENCY OF DONALD  TRUMP. DONALD TRUMP HAD TO GET  RID OF THE FIRST BIG PLAYER IN  THIS WHITE HOUSE THAT HE HAS HAD  TO GET RID OF. THAT WAS TODAY.  AND TODAY, A FEDERAL JUDGE  APPOINTED BY DONALD TRUMP RULED  AGAINST DONALD TRUMP. IT'S A  TURNING POINT. WE ARE AT A  TURNING POINT. HECK OF A JOB,  BROWNIE. THAT WAS A TURNING  POINT FOR GEORGE W BUSH. WHEN  PRESIDENT BUSH SAID THAT TO HIS  FEMA DIRECTOR IN THE AFTERMATH  OF HURRICANE KATRINA IN NEW  ORLEANS, EVERYONE KNEW THAT  BROWNIE WASN'T DOING A HECK OF A  JOB IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION'S  RESPONSE TO THAT DISASTER WAS IN  ITSELF A DISASTER. AND THAT WAS  A TURNING POINT IN THE  PERCEPTION OF THE COMPETENCE OF  THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION. DONNIE  TOODLES ARRIVED AT WHAT MIGHT BE  THE MOST MEMORABLE TURNING POINT  IN HIS PRESIDENCY, WHEN HE  HIMSELF EXPRESSED THE DAMAGE HIS  TARIFFS ARE.  >> DOING IN.  >> TERMS THAT.  >> ANY CHILD.  >> IN AMERICA COULD UNDERSTAND,  ESPECIALLY A GIRL HOPING FOR A  BARBIE FOR CHRISTMAS. WHAT  DONALD TRUMP SAID ABOUT THAT  YESTERDAY BECAME THE LEAD STORY  ON THIS PROGRAM LAST NIGHT, AND  WENT VIRAL TODAY AND TODAY.  DONNIE TWO DOLLS USED THE FUROR  CREATED BY THE STUPIDEST THING  EVER SAID ABOUT CHRISTMAS BY A  PRESIDENT OF ANY COUNTRY TO MASK  THE FIRST FIRING IN THE SECOND  TRUMP WHITE HOUSE LAST NIGHT ON  THIS PROGRAM, WITH THE GENEROUS  APPROVAL OF DAVID CHASE, THE  BRILLIANT CREATOR OF THE EMMY  WINNING HBO SERIES THE SOPRANOS.  I SUGGESTED THE POSSIBLE  NICKNAME DONALD TRUMP WOULD HAVE  IF HE WERE A CHARACTER ON THE  SOPRANOS, AND I SUGGESTED THAT  THAT NICKNAME SHOULD BE DONNIE.  TWO DOLLS. AFTER HE SAID THIS  YESTERDAY,  >> SOMEBODY. YOU KNOW, THE  SHELVES ARE GOING TO BE OPEN.  WELL, MAYBE THE CHILDREN.  >> WILL. HAVE TWO.  >> DOLLS INSTEAD.  >> OF 30.  >> DOLLS, YOU KNOW, AND MAYBE  THE TWO DOLLS WILL COST A COUPLE  OF BUCKS MORE THAN THEY WOULD  NORMALLY.  >> AFTER I MADE THE DONALD  TRUMP'S TWO DOLLS, THEORY OF  CHRISTMAS, THE LEAD STORY ON  THIS PROGRAM LAST NIGHT CALLED  HIM DONNIE TWO DOLLS TO BOTH  PROVE THE INTELLECTUAL ROT OF  THE TRUMP TARIFF SCHEME AND. HOW  DONALD TRUMP IS NOW PUSHING  VOTERS AWAY FROM HIM, PUSHING  SUPPORTERS AWAY FROM HIM WITH  SCROOGE LIKE COMMENTS. DONALD  TRUMP'S FAVORITE HOMETOWN  NEWSPAPER, THE NEW YORK POST,  THE NEWSPAPER OWNED BY DONALD  TRUMP'S BILLIONAIRE FRIEND  RUPERT MURDOCH, THE NEWSPAPER  THAT HAS ALWAYS TREATED DONALD  TRUMP FAVORABLY AS A GOSSIP ITEM  BEFORE HE GOT INTO POLITICS,  AGREED WITH ME THAT THE TWO  DOLLS WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT  THING, DONALD TRUMP SAID  YESTERDAY. AND DONNIE, TWO  DOLLS, WOKE UP TO FIND THIS AS  THE COVER OF TODAY'S NEW YORK  POST SKIMP ON THE BARBIE. TRUMP  ADMITS TARIFFS WILL RAISE  PRICES, CAUSE SHORTAGES. IT'S  THAT SIMPLE. AND IT'S ON THE  FRONT PAGE THE COVER OF A  PRO-TRUMP NEWSPAPER. ANYONE CAN  UNDERSTAND THAT ANY CHILD WHO  MIGHT HAVE SEEN THAT COVER OF  THE NEW YORK POST TODAY COULD  UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IS A RIGHT  WING REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER, AND  EVEN THAT TRUMP SUPPORTING  NEWSPAPER KNOWS HOW STUPID AND  POLITICALLY DISASTROUS IT WAS  FOR DONALD TRUMP TO TURN HIMSELF  INTO DONNIE TWO DOLLS YESTERDAY.  THAT PHRASE WENT OUT THERE IN  THE WORLD TODAY. PROTESTERS WERE  USING IT ON THEIR PLACARDS. I  THINK WE HAVE SOME SHOTS OF THIS  THAT WE CAN SHOW YOU. THERE'S  ONE FROM MANHATTAN TODAY.  PROTESTERS OUT THERE AGAINST  DONALD TRUMP, OTHERS FROM OTHER  PLACES IN THE COUNTRY TODAY  DUMPED DONNIE TWO DOLLS. IT  REALLY MOVED BECAUSE IT IS SO  EASY TO UNDERSTAND. IT IS JUST  SO SIMPLE. AND SO DONALD TRUMP  CHOSE TODAY TO MAKE THE BIGGEST  CHANGE IN THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF  SINCE INAUGURATION DAY, HOPING  THAT THE DISASTER AT THE CORE OF  THAT STORY ABOUT DONNIE TWO  DOLLS COULD BE MUTED. COULD BE  HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO MUTE THE  STORY THAT HE WAS CREATING FOR  HIMSELF TODAY. TODAY, MIKE  WALLACE SET A RECORD FOR DONALD  TRUMP'S FIRST CHOICE FOR  NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER. MIKE  WALLACE MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO  THE 101ST DAY OF THE TRUMP  PRESIDENCY BEFORE BEING REMOVED  FROM THAT POSITION. THE MAN WHO  SAYS HE ALWAYS CHOOSES THE RIGHT  PEOPLE, THE BEST PEOPLE GOT RID  OF HIS NATIONAL SECURITY  ADVISER, MIKE WALLACE, ON THE  101ST DAY OF SERVICE, WHICH  MEANS THAT MIKE WALLACE SERVED  FOUR TIMES AS LONG AS DONALD  TRUMP'S FIRST CHOICE OF NATIONAL  SECURITY ADVISOR. IN THE FIRST  TRUMP WHITE HOUSE, MICHAEL FLYNN  SERVED 22 DAYS AS NATIONAL  SECURITY ADVISER IN DONALD  TRUMP'S FIRST WHITE HOUSE BEFORE  DONALD TRUMP FIRED HIM, AND  BEFORE MICHAEL FLYNN THEN WENT  ON TO BECOME A CONVICTED  CRIMINAL WHO DONALD TRUMP THEN  PARDONED. SO IF DONALD TRUMP  CHOOSES YOU FOR NATIONAL  SECURITY ADVISOR AND YOUR FIRST  NAME IS MICHAEL, YOU ARE GOING  TO BE THE FIRST PERSON HE FIRES  IN A TRUMP WHITE HOUSE. HE HAS A  PERFECT RECORD ON THAT. THE  REMOVAL OF MIKE WALLACE WAS,  LIKE MOST TRUMPIAN MOVES, NOT  CAREFULLY PLANNED. THE CAREFULLY  PLANNED VERSION OF SUCH A MOVE  INCLUDES THE IMMEDIATE  ANNOUNCEMENT OF AN IMPRESSIVE  CHOICE TO BE THE NEXT NATIONAL  SECURITY ADVISOR, PREFERABLY  SOMEONE WHO IS SEEN MORE  FAVORABLY THAN THE ONE WHO'S  GETTING KICKED OUT. BUT DONALD  TRUMP HAD NO ONE. THAT'S A  TURNING POINT TO DONALD TRUMP.  HAD NO ONE TODAY TO PUT INTO  THAT JOB THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB  IN THE WHITE HOUSE. AFTER  PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT  TODAY, DONALD TRUMP NEEDED A NEW  NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER, AND  HE COULDN'T FIND ONE. SO HE MADE  SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO  THE ACTING NATIONAL SECURITY  ADVISOR. MIKE WALLACE WAS  REMOVED FROM THAT JOB AFTER  ORGANIZING A GROUP CHAT THAT  INCLUDED THE CIA DIRECTOR, THE  DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL  INTELLIGENCE, THE SECRETARY OF  STATE, THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE,  AND OTHERS TO MAKE SURE THAT  EVERYONE WAS INFORMED AND IN  SOME CASES OVER INFORMED ABOUT  AN AIR ATTACK THAT THE UNITED  STATES WAS ABOUT TO LAUNCH IN  YEMEN. ONE OF THE PEOPLE, MIKE  WALLACE, INCLUDED IN THAT GROUP  CHAT, NOT ON SECURE TECHNOLOGY,  WAS THE EDITOR IN CHIEF OF THE  ATLANTIC, JEFFREY GOLDBERG, WHO  WROTE ALL ABOUT IT, EXPOSING THE  SINGLE BIGGEST SECURITY BREACH  BY A NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER  IN HISTORY. EVERY PARTICIPANT IN  THAT GROUP CHAT HAD A  PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY  CHECK TO CHECK THE LIST OF  EVERYONE ELSE THEY SAW ON THAT  GROUP CHAT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT  WAS SAFE. BUT THE CIA DIRECTOR  DIDN'T DO THAT. THE INCOMPETENT  DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL  INTELLIGENCE DIDN'T DO THAT. THE  INCOMPETENT SECRETARY OF STATE  DIDN'T DO THAT. THE INCOMPETENT  SECRETARY OF DEFENSE DIDN'T DO  THAT AND SHARED BATTLE PLANS.  NONE OF THEM NONE OF THEM  FULFILLED THEIR SECURITY  RESPONSIBILITY IN THAT GROUP  CHAT ON AN UNSECURE PLATFORM. SO  THEY ALL EXHIBITED RANK  INCOMPETENCE IN THEIR JOBS JUST  BY PARTICIPATING IN A GROUP CHAT  OVER THAT NON-SECURE FORUM. BUT  IT WAS MIKE WALLACE'S PHONE THAT  SPECIFICALLY LINKED JEFFREY  GOLDBERG INTO THE CONVERSATION.  AND IN ANY SANE WHITE HOUSE,  MIKE WALLACE WOULD HAVE BEEN  FIRED. AS SOON AS THAT WAS  DISCOVERED, DONALD TRUMP DECIDED  TO GIVE MIKE WALLACE AN EXIT  PARACHUTE TODAY. THAT NIGHT  MIGHT NOT BE EASY TO OPERATE  BECAUSE IT INCLUDES SENATE  CONFIRMATION. DONALD TRUMP  INTENDS TO NOMINATE MIKE WALLACE  TO BE AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED  NATIONS, WHICH REQUIRES SENATE  CONFIRMATION. DONALD TRUMP  ALREADY DROPPED HIS FIRST CHOICE  FOR AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED  NATIONS, CONGRESSWOMAN ELISE  STEFANIK, AFTER THE SPEAKER OF  THE HOUSE PANICKED ABOUT LOSING  ANOTHER REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF  THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO  THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. SO  DONALD TRUMP'S FIRST CHOICE FOR  NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR HAS  BECOME HIS SECOND CHOICE FOR UN  AMBASSADOR AND WILL BE ANSWERING  QUESTIONS UNDER OATH IN A SENATE  CONFIRMATION HEARING ABOUT THE  NOT SECURE GROUP CHAT THAT HE  SET UP TO DISCUSS SPECIFIC TIMES  AND TARGETS OF A BATTLE PLAN,  THE KIND OF INFORMATION THAT HAS  ALWAYS BEEN CLASSIFIED SINCE THE  INVENTION OF CLASSIFIED  INFORMATION. MIKE WALTZ'S  DEFENSE, UNDER OATH IN HIS  CONFIRMATION HEARING WILL  PROBABLY BE WHAT THEY'VE BEEN  SAYING UP TO NOW, WHICH IS THAT  THE BATTLE PLAN WASN'T  CLASSIFIED, WHICH IS THE SINGLE  WORST DEFENSE ANYONE COULD  POSSIBLY SUGGEST IN A CASE LIKE  THIS. ACCEPTABLE ONLY IN TRUMP  WORLD, WHICH MEANS REPUBLICAN  SENATORS WILL LIKELY BE SHAMING  THEMSELVES ONCE AGAIN IN  ACCEPTING THIS UNIQUE DEFINITION  OF CLASSIFIED AND IN THIS CASE,  ACCEPTING THE DANGEROUS  INCOMPETENCE OF DONALD TRUMP'S  SO-CALLED BEST  SO-CALLED BEST PEOPLE. MIKE  WALLACE'S SENATE CONFIRMATION  HEARING WILL GIVE DEMOCRATS AN  OPPORTUNITY ONCE AGAIN TO  HIGHLIGHT THE STARTLING AND  DANGEROUS INCOMPETENCE OF DONALD  TRUMP AND HIS NATIONAL SECURITY  ADVISER AND HIS DIRECTOR OF THE  CIA, HIS DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL  INTELLIGENCE, HIS SECRETARY OF  STATE, WHO IS ALSO NOW THE  ACTING NATIONAL SECURITY  ADVISOR, AND HIS SPECTACULARLY  INCOMPETENT SECRETARY OF  DEFENSE, WHO SHARED THE ACTUAL  SPECIFICS OF THE BATTLE PLAN ON  THAT CRAZY GROUP CHAT THAT THEY  HAD, THE CHILDISH INCOMPETENCE  OF THAT TRUMP NATIONAL SECURITY  TEAM WILL BE ON DISPLAY IN MIKE  WALLACE'S CONFIRMATION HEARING,  AND AMERICAN VOTERS WILL HAVE NO  PROBLEM UNDERSTANDING IT BECAUSE  IT IS SO SIMPLE. HIGH SCHOOL  KIDS WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM  UNDERSTANDING HOW STUPID AND  INCOMPETENT YOU HAVE TO BE TO  HAVE YOUR GROUP CHAT LEAK  PUBLICLY. THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY  IS SINKING. THE CRUELTY WILL  CONTINUE. HE WILL CONTINUE TO  TRY TO DEPORT CHILDREN WHO ARE  AMERICAN CITIZENS. HE WILL  CONTINUE TO TRY TO IMPRISON AND  EL SALVADOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE  COMMITTED NO CRIMES. HE WILL  PUBLICLY REVEL IN HIS CRUELTY TO  PEOPLE FOR WHOM TRUMP VOTERS  HAVE SHOWN VERY LITTLE SYMPATHY.  THAT WILL CONTINUE. BUT SO MUCH  OF THE REST OF WHAT DONALD TRUMP  IS TRYING TO DO IS SINKING THE  TRUMP VOTERS WHO HAVE SHOWED UP  AT RALLIES, WHICH IS A VERY TINY  PERCENTAGE OF TRUMP VOTERS, HAVE  ALWAYS SHOWN SYMPATHY FOR  THEMSELVES. THEY HAVE ALWAYS  SHARED IN DONALD TRUMP'S  SELF-PITY WHEN DONALD TRUMP  WOULD STAND AT HIS RALLIES AND  WHINE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW  BADLY HE HAS BEEN TREATED AFTER  HE ARRIVED AT THAT RALLY ON HIS  PRIVATE PLANE, WHOSE FUEL AND  MAINTENANCE WAS PAID FOR BY  THEIR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS,  DONALD TRUMP KNOWS HOW TO FEEL  SORRY FOR HIMSELF. HE'S VERY  GOOD AT THAT. AND THE PEOPLE AT  TRUMP RALLIES WHO SPOKE TO  REPORTERS SEEM TO BE VERY GOOD  AT THAT, TOO. BUT REMEMBER,  ABOUT 99% OF TRUMP VOTERS HAVE  NEVER BEEN TO A TRUMP RALLY.  DONALD TRUMP DOES ENJOY SOUNDING  CRUEL. DONALD TRUMP ENJOYS  SOUNDING THREATENING, DONALD  TRUMP WANTS TO SCARE HIS  OPPONENTS, AND HE WANTS TO SCARE  ANY OF HIS POLITICAL ALLIES IN  THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WHO MIGHT  EVER THINK OF DISAGREEING WITH  HIM. THE CRUELTY IS NOT AN ACT.  IT IS ONE OF DONALD TRUMP'S  GENUINE, DEEPLY HELD QUALITIES.  IT TAKES UNSPEAKABLE CRUELTY FOR  A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES  TO TAKE THE FOOD AWAY FROM  STARVING CHILDREN IN AFRICA, IN  THE MIDDLE OF A FAMINE, AS  DONALD TRUMP AND ELON MUSK HAVE  DONE, DONALD TRUMP TOOK FOOD  AWAY FROM STARVING MOTHERS IN  FAMINE IN SUDAN, FROM  GRANDMOTHERS, FROM GRANDFATHERS,  HUNGRY CHILDREN WATCHING THEIR  SIBLINGS STARVE TO DEATH BECAUSE  OF DONALD TRUMP AND DONALD TRUMP  DECIDED THEY DON'T NEED ANY MORE  FOOD FROM US, EVEN THOUGH THE  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FOR  THE ENTIRETY OF DONALD TRUMP'S  LIFE AND BEFORE THAT, HAS  PRODUCED MUCH MORE FOOD THAN WE  CAN CONSUME IN THIS COUNTRY. THE  FARMERS WHO PRODUCE THAT FOOD  THAT THE UNITED STATES AGENCY  FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT  WAS USING TO FEED STARVING  CHILDREN IN AFRICA WERE ALL PAID  IN FULL FOR THAT FOOD. THE  FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PAID AMERICAN  FARMERS FOR THAT FOOD THAT THE  AMERICAN GOVERNMENT THEN  DELIVERED TO STARVING CHILDREN.  AND IT WAS AS TINY A BUDGET ITEM  AS EXISTS IN THE FEDERAL  GOVERNMENT. AND ONLY THE COLD  CRUELTY OF DONALD TRUMP COULD  TAKE THAT FOOD AWAY. NO OTHER  PRESIDENT EVER CONTEMPLATED SUCH  A THING, NO MATTER HOW  NEGATIVELY SOMEONE MIGHT THINK  OF THE OVERALL RECORD OF  REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT GEORGE W  BUSH. HE WAS AS CARING AND KIND  AND, YES, CHRISTIAN AS ANY  PRESIDENT HAS EVER BEEN WHEN  TRYING TO HELP SAVE LIVES OF THE  POOREST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.  PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH DID MORE  TO SAVE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE  DYING OF AIDS IN AFRICA THAN ANY  OTHER PRESIDENT. AND IN DOING  SO, GEORGE W BUSH WAS FOLLOWING  NOT JUST GOOD GOVERNING POLICY,  NOT JUST SMART INTERNATIONAL  RELATIONS, AND NOT JUST  PRINCIPLED ALTRUISM. HE WAS  FOLLOWING THE CHRISTIAN  TEACHINGS THAT HE ACTUALLY  BELIEVED ABOUT LOVING THY  NEIGHBOR, ABOUT HOW WE TREAT, AS  THE BIBLE PUT IT, THE LEAST  AMONG US, THE MOST BEHAVIORALLY  AND PHILOSOPHICALLY UN-CHRISTIAN  PRESIDENT IN HISTORY. TODAY AT  THE WHITE HOUSE, AFTER BECOMING  DONNY TWO DOLLS YESTERDAY  PARTICIPATED IN A NATIONAL DAY  OF PRAYER WITHOUT EVER HAVING  BEEN ABLE TO PUBLICLY RECITE A  PRAYER IN HIS LIFE FROM MEMORY,  DONALD TRUMP EMBODIES CRUELTY,  NOT CHRISTIANITY. DONALD TRUMP  CANNOT HIDE THE CRUELTY AND  CANNOT CONTROL THE CRUELTY. AND  THAT IS WHY, WHEN HE WAS ASKED  ABOUT THE FACT THAT 80% OF THE  TOYS SOLD IN THIS COUNTRY COME  FROM CHINA AND 90% OF ALL  CHRISTMAS PRODUCTS COME FROM  CHINA, DONALD TRUMP COULDN'T  FIND WORDS THAT WOULD EXPRESS  ANY SYMPATHY FOR ANYONE, FOR ANY  CHILD WHO MIGHT NOT GET THAT TOY  THAT THEY WERE DREAMING ABOUT ON  CHRISTMAS DAY BECAUSE OF DONALD  TRUMP. SO, DONNY, TWO DOLLS  SAID, WELL, MAYBE THE CHILDREN  WILL HAVE TWO DOLLS INSTEAD OF  30 DOLLS. YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE  SOUND OF A CRUEL BILLIONAIRE.  THAT'S THE SOUND OF SOMEONE RICH  ENOUGH TO THINK THE 30 DOLLS  UNDER THE TREE IS A COMMON  EXPERIENCE FOR CHILDREN IN  AMERICA. AND THAT'S A  BILLIONAIRE MEAN ENOUGH TO THINK  THAT EVERYONE SHOULD JUST CALM  DOWN AND FOLLOW HIS ADVICE AT  HOW MANY DOLLS SHOULD BE UNDER A  CHRISTMAS TREE. BUT DONNY, TWO  DOLLS BREATHTAKINGLY COLD  STATEMENT ABOUT THE CHILDREN OF  AMERICA IS THE CLEAREST THING HE  HAS SAID TO AMERICANS AND TO  TRUMP SUPPORTERS ABOUT HOW LOST  HE IS, ABOUT HOW INCAPABLE HE IS  OF SERVING THE NEEDS OF ANYONE  IN AMERICA, INCLUDING CHILDREN  WHO CAN NOW UNDERSTAND HOW  STUPID AND INCOMPETENT THEIR  PRESIDENT IS, INCLUDING CHILDREN  WHO CAME OUT TO SUPPORT DONALD  TRUMP DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL  CAMPAIGN. CAMPAIGN REPORTERS  SOMETIMES HAVE TO DO SOME  GIMMICKY THINGS. SOMETIMES THEIR  PRODUCERS WANT THEM TO DO THINGS  LIKE INTERVIEW THE KIDS AT THE  CAMPAIGN RALLY. NBC'S SHAQ  BREWSTER IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS  ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, AND HE  HAS CONDUCTED MANY IMPORTANT  INTERVIEWS DURING CAMPAIGNS AND  DURING IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS  EVENTS IN THIS COUNTRY. HE HAS  APPEARED ON THIS PROGRAM  REPEATEDLY DURING SOME OF THOSE  BREAKING NEWS EVENTS. AND LAST  SEPTEMBER AT A TRUMP RALLY, SHAQ  BREWSTER CONDUCTED AN INTERVIEW.  THAT WAS FUN. YOU CAN TELL HOW  MUCH FUN SHAQ BREWSTER HAD. YOU  CAN TELL HOW HE'S ENJOYING  TALKING TO THESE TWO TRUMP  SUPPORTERS. ONE THING YOU'RE NOT  EXPECTING IN AN INTERVIEW WITH  CHILDREN AT A CAMPAIGN RALLY IS  ANYTHING SUBSTANTIVE, BUT SHAQ  BREWSTER'S INTERVIEW WITH TWO  YOUNG GIRLS IN MICHIGAN IN  SEPTEMBER STANDS TONIGHT AS  POSSIBLY THE MOST IMPORTANT  CAMPAIGN RALLY INTERVIEW  CONDUCTED BY ANYONE IN THAT  CAMPAIGN, BECAUSE IT SHOWS  PRECISELY WHAT TRUMP SUPPORTERS  EXPECTED OF DONALD TRUMP. AND IT  SHOWS PRECISELY HOW CLEAR IT IS  AND HOW CLEAR IT CAN BE TO TRUMP  SUPPORTERS. NOW, WHAT A TOTAL  FAILURE DONALD TRUMP HAS BECOME  TO THEM. TWO WONDERFUL YOUNG  GIRLS AT A TRUMP RALLY NAMED  STELLA AND MAEVE, WITH THE FULL  SUPPORT AND APPROVAL OF THEIR  FATHER, ASKED TO BE INTERVIEWED  BY SHAQ BREWSTER, THEY ASKED FOR  THAT MOMENT IN FRONT OF A TV  CAMERA. AND WE ARE SO LUCKY  TONIGHT THAT THEY DID ASK TO BE  INTERVIEWED IN THE. BREWSTER HAD  THE GOOD GRACE TO DO IT. AND  IMPORTANTLY, AS YOU'LL SEE, THE  SKILL TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE  WAS ACTUALLY SOME REAL SUBSTANCE  TO BE GAINED IN THIS INTERVIEW  OF CHILDREN AT A CAMPAIGN RALLY.  WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE IS THE  FULL RANGE OF THE AGE OF  AMERICANS WHO CAN UNDERSTAND  EXACTLY HOW DONALD TRUMP'S  TARIFFS WORK AGAINST THEM. HERE  IS THE CAMPAIGN INTERVIEW THAT  DESERVES TO BE SEEN BY EVERY  AMERICAN OF EVERY AGE.  >> WHAT DO YOU.  >> WANT.  >> HIM.  >> TO DO?  >> WHAT DO YOU WANT HIM.  >> TO SAY TODAY?  >> I WANT HIM I WANT HIM TO  LOWER PRICES AND LOWER THE TAXES  AND MAKE BARBIES CHEAPER.  >> MAKE BARBIES CHEAPER?  >> YEAH.  >> TELL ME.  >> MORE ABOUT THAT. HAVE THEY  GOTTEN EXPENSIVE?  >> YEAH. AND POLLY POCKETS, ALL  MY FAVORITE TOYS ARE SO  EXPENSIVE.  >> MAKE BARBIES CHEAPER. IT JUST  DOESN'T GET SIMPLER THAN THAT.  IT DOESN'T GET EASIER TO  UNDERSTAND THAN THAT. THAT IS A  SIMPLE REQUEST. AND DONNY TWO  DOLL SAID YESTERDAY HE IS SURE  THAT THE PARENTS OF YOUNG GIRLS  HOPING FOR A BARBIE WON'T MIND  PAYING. AS HE PUT IT, A COUPLE  OF BUCKS MORE. BARBIE HAS MADE  BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS OF  DOLLARS FOR AMERICANS OVER THE  COURSE OF THE LIFE OF THAT  REMARKABLE DOLL, AND RECENTLY,  BARBIE MADE EVEN MORE BILLIONS  OF DOLLARS FOR AMERICANS BY  BECOMING A MOVIE CHARACTER AND  NOT A SINGLE BARBIE IN HISTORY  THAT MOST AMERICAN OF DOLLS HAS  EVER BEEN MADE IN THE UNITED  STATES OF AMERICA. NOT ONE, BUT  BARBIE HAS MANAGED TO MAKE  AMERICANS RICHER IN MANY WAYS,  AND THE VAST FORTUNES MADE ON  BARBIE ARE AMERICAN FORTUNES.  AND BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T  UNDERSTAND ECONOMICS, AND  BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T  UNDERSTAND THE HUGE VALUE OF  INTERNATIONAL TRADE, AND BECAUSE  DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T UNDERSTAND  LITTLE GIRLS, DONALD TRUMP  THINKS BARBIE IS AN ENEMY OF  AMERICA BECAUSE BARBIE IS NOT  MADE HERE. THAT'S HOW MUCH  DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T UNDERSTAND  ABOUT AMERICA. THAT'S HOW MUCH  DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T UNDERSTAND  ABOUT WHAT A REAL ENEMY IS. HE  THINKS BARBIE IS AN ENEMY.  THAT'S HOW MUCH DONALD TRUMP  DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT HIS  YOUNGEST SUPPORTERS, AND THE  FATHERS AND THE MOTHERS OF THOSE  YOUNGEST SUPPORTERS WHO WERE  REALLY HOPING AND BELIEVING THAT  HE WOULD MAKE BARBIES CHEAPER.  IT DOESN'T GET SIMPLER. THE  OBVIOUS FAILURE OF DONALD TRUMP  DOES NOT GET SIMPLER. THE NEW  YORK TIMES PICKED UP TODAY ON  DONNY TUDOR'S COLD COMMENTS  ABOUT THE TWO DOLL LIMIT HE  WANTS TO SEE UNDER CHRISTMAS  TREES, THE TIMES REPORTS. THIS  GRINCHY PRONOUNCEMENT BY THE  PRESIDENT HAD THE VALUE OF BEING  TRUTHFUL. MANY AMERICAN TOY  MAKERS AND RETAILERS HAVE  STARTED TO PAUSE THEIR ORDERS AS  THE EFFECTS OF MR. TRUMP'S  TARIFFS RIPPLE OUT, THREATENING  TO SNARL SUPPLY CHAINS. IT COULD  ALL HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON THIS  YEAR'S HOLIDAY SEASON, SINCE IT  TAKES MONTHS TO MANUFACTURE,  PACKAGE AND SHIP MANY PRODUCTS  TO THE UNITED STATES, THE  INDEPENDENT REPORTS QUOTE IN A  TOY ASSOCIATION SURVEY OF 410  SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED TOY  MANUFACTURERS TAKEN THIS MONTH,  64% OF SMALL TOY COMPANIES AND  80% OF MID-SIZED TOY COMPANIES  SAID THEY HAVE CANCELED ORDERS.  MEANWHILE, ROUGHLY HALF SAID  THEY WOULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS  WITHIN WEEKS OR MONTHS IF US  TARIFFS ON CHINA REMAINED IN  PLACE. JENNIFER BERGMAN, THE  OWNER OF WEST SIDE KIDS IN NEW  YORK CITY, TOLD THE NEW YORK  TIMES, QUOTE, THAT SHE WOULD TRY  TO BUY AS MUCH AS SHE COULD NOW,  BUT THAT THE SHORTAGES WERE  ALREADY STARTING. IF THE TARIFFS  REMAIN, CHRISTMAS WILL BE LIKE  SOMETHING WE'VE NEVER  EXPERIENCED BEFORE, MR. BERGMAN  SAID. PEOPLE WILL BE STANDING IN  LINE TO BUY THINGS THAT COST  TWICE OR THREE TIMES AS MUCH AS  BEFORE. SHE SAID HER BUSINESS  WAS ALREADY UNDER PRESSURE FROM  COMPETITION BY AMAZON, BUT SHE  FEARS THAT THE TARIFFS WILL  DELIVER A FINAL BLOW. I DON'T  THINK I WILL BE IN BUSINESS FOR  CHRISTMAS, SAID MISS BERGMAN,  WHO ADDED THAT SHE WAS  CONSULTING A BANKRUPTCY LAWYER.  THE MOST EXPENSIVE PRODUCT THE  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS  EVER EXPORTED IN HISTORY IS A  BOEING COMMERCIAL AIRLINER  THAT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE OBJECT  IN THE WORLD. AND INTERNATIONAL  ORDERS FOR BOEING COMMERCIAL  AIRLINERS NOW FACE THE  POSSIBILITY OF BEING CANCELED,  WHICH COULD ULTIMATELY DRIVE  BOEING OUT OF BUSINESS THANKS TO  DONALD TRUMP'S TARIFFS. WE USED  TO HAVE SEVERAL MANUFACTURERS OF  COMMERCIAL AIRLINERS IN THE  UNITED STATES. THEN WE GOT DOWN  TO THREE, THEN WE GOT DOWN TO  TWO, AND WE HAVE BEEN AT ONE FOR  A LONG TIME NOW. AND DONALD  TRUMP COULD BE THE PRESIDENT WHO  LOSES THAT ONE. AND THEN WE  BECOME THE COUNTRY THAT  MANUFACTURES ZERO COMMERCIAL  AIRLINERS. THE TRUMP TARIFFS  COULD DO THAT. BUT IF YOU'RE A  LITTLE GIRL WHO DOESN'T KNOW  ANYTHING ABOUT THE COST OF THAT  AIRPLANE THAT YOU'RE FLYING ON  TO ON CHRISTMAS VACATION, YOU  UNDERSTAND THE PRICE OF BARBIES.  GENERAL MOTORS ANNOUNCED TODAY  THAT THE TRUMP TARIFFS WILL WIPE  OUT ABOUT A FOURTH OF THE PROFIT  OF AMERICA'S BIGGEST CAR  COMPANY, BUT THEY WERE HOPING  FOR THIS YEAR. AND IF YOU'RE A  LITTLE GIRL WHO DOESN'T  UNDERSTAND WHAT GENERAL MOTORS  IS, DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR  CAR, YOUR FAMILY CAR IS A  GENERAL MOTORS CAR, YOU  UNDERSTAND THE PRICE OF BARBIES.  AND THAT'S A BIG PROBLEM FOR  DONALD TRUMP THAT EVERYONE AT  EVERY AGE NOW IS LEARNING THE  HARD WAY ABOUT WHAT DONALD TRUMP  IS DOING TO PRICES. CHILDREN CAN  LEARN THIS NOW. A BARBIE THAT  COST $20 LAST CHRISTMAS COULD  COST WILL COST $50 THIS  CHRISTMAS AT LEAST UNLESS DONALD  TRUMP SURRENDERS IN HIS TRADE  WAR WITH CHINA. AND THAT PRICE  RISE IS NOT, AS DONALD TRUMP PUT  IT, A COUPLE OF BUCKS. IT'S  150%. THAT'S HIS TARIFF, 145% ON  BARBIES FROM CHINA. IT COST $50  THIS MONTH. IF YOU CAN GET A  BARBIE, IF YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET  ONE. IF THE SHORTAGES DON'T HIT  IN THE TOY STORE AND THE DAY  YOU'RE GOING IN THERE, THAT'S  NOT A COUPLE OF BUCKS MORE. NO.  DONNY, TWO DOLLS DOESN'T  UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S DOING. HE  HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S DOING. HE  HAS NEVER UNDERSTOOD TARIFFS.  AND NOW LITTLE GIRLS IN AMERICA  KNOW THAT DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T  KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING. EVEN THEY  KNOW EVERYONE KNOWS. THIS IS A  TURNING POINT. LAST NIGHT,  KAMALA HARRIS SAID THIS.  >> COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS. THE  COURAGE OF AMERICANS.  >> WHO ARE BANDING.  >> TOGETHER IN THE FACE OF THE  GREATEST MAN. MADE ECONOMIC.  CRISIS IN MODERN PRESIDENTIAL  HISTORY. AMERICANS ACROSS THE  POLITICAL SPECTRUM. WHO ARE  DECLARING THAT THE PRESIDENT'S  RECKLESS TARIFFS HURT WORKERS  AND FAMILIES.  >> BY RAISING.  >> THE COST OF EVERYDAY  ESSENTIALS, DEVASTATE THE  RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS. THAT PEOPLE  SPENT A LIFETIME PAYING INTO AND  PARALYZE AMERICAN BUSINESSES,  LARGE AND SMALL, FORCING THEM TO  LAY OFF PEOPLE TO STOP HIRING OR  PAUSE INVESTMENT DECISIONS. I  UNDERSTAND WHY, AND IT'S  CERTAINLY TRUE OF THOSE TARIFFS,"}]
