He would have a lineup of cute little girls, one after another, just crying, crying, crying about the fact that they're babies. dolls are no longer being imported from China. I mean, you would have, I think a very glitzy, highly dramatic and highly catastrophic recording from Fox news about how president AOC is destroying American childhood.

And here's president Trump elected in an affordability election, right? The number one thing that people who switched the democratic to Republican column said about the election was life is unaffordable. bragging about the fact that toys are going to be twice to three times more expensive under him.

So that's number one, that if you just replace the letter after the name, it's just wild to think what the reaction of Fox News would be to Trump announcing that toys are more expensive. That's number one. Number two, this is just so effing stupid.

The strategy that's being communicated here is that we have to raise tariffs on China and other countries in order to reshore manufacturing of goods that are critical to our national security. Elsa dolls are not critical to our national security. It's totally fine if they're cheap. And there's no part of the semiconductor manufacturing process that flows through the manufacturing of Elsa dolls.

It's totally orthogonal. You don't need to bring back advanced robotics and say, step one, we have to make sure that all the Elsa dolls are made in America. Completely different thing. And then the final thing is that this really truly does scale, I think, across all of Trump's policies.

That if you hear the stated reason for the policies, and then you look at the inputs, they have nothing to do with one another. Like one other quick nerdy example. A lot of Trump folks say they want to bring back nuclear power to America. We want to build some nukes. That's a manly thing to do. Creates a lot of energy. 1950s economy, let's bring back the nuclear power plants.

Hell yeah, I'm for that. I'm for that too. I would love to have more abundant, clean energy in this country. Sorry, we're not going to skip ahead to that bit. Yeah, you got it.

Yeah, we'll see if we can get a little tic-tac-toe here. What do you do? What do you do at the federal policy level if you want to build more nuclear power plants? Well, nuclear power is literally the most expensive thing you can build. I believe one person told me that the last nuclear power plant that America built cost 12 times more than the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.
