donny two dolls fires the latest salvo in "The War On Christmas", explainiing

why it is absolutely imperative that children be forced to live with getting only two dolls, rather than their usual thirty.

I do not know of anybody who ever had in total, much less receiving all at once, 30 dolls.

Also, since we "know" that boys "don't play with dolls" (uhhhh, gi joe, anyone???), that remark seemed particularly sexist, as if he delighted in depriving the girls who are too young even for his perversions.

Not surprising he chooses girls and dolls as a topic of discussion.

comments, they were criticized for missing the point. The critic, in my opinion, was the one who missed it.

What is the message and how was it delivered.
Both are important.

Trump could have given a million examples of his point.
The example he gave tells us something about him.

Yes the critic missed the obvious.

3. In his world of billionaires, kids probably do have 30 dolls.

But that's not really the point. What he's really saying to us proles is that however many toys our kids usually get for Christmas, they're only going to get about 6% as many this year, and that's just too fucking bad. Suck it up and pay my tariffs. That big Lego set they wanted where they could build skyscrapers or battleships? Nope, they get the one with just enough blocks to build a one-story house with no garage. They'll be lucky to get a stocking containing an orange and a candy cane.

7. I wouldn't hazard a guess how young is too young for his perversions.

His whole doll thing is sexist, weird, creepy, and probably should be investigated along with dozens of other things he's done and said.
