It takes a special kind of delusion to tell parents to buy their kids fewer toys and pencils while bragging about building a new White House ballroom and gold in the Oval Office.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

"There's no affordability problem because you people don't need all that stuff you buy" is a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him.

Imagine, for just a second, Biden saying this about Fox News.

And I bet the absolutely feckless White House press corps won’t cover this like the legit constitutional 1A disaster this is.
Trump: "I think the people that have run CNN are a disgrace. I think it's imperative that CNN be sold because you certainly wouldn't want to just leave those people with some money so they can spend even more spending poison. It's lies. I wouldn't want to see the same company end up with CNN."
