Trump’s Tariffs: Capitalism COSPLAYING as Communism?

So, Donald Trump is back at it—slapping tariffs on everything from toys to tequila, then turning around and deciding which products get a hall pass. It's like he's playing a game of economic Duck, Duck, Goose, but instead of kids, it's your wallet on the line.

Take baby essentials, for instance. Car seats and strollers are facing tariffs up to 145%, making it harder for parents to afford basic safety items for their children. But wait! Now the administration is considering exempting these items—after public outcry. It's like setting your house on fire and then offering to call the fire department... maybe.

And toys? Trump suggests that kids having fewer dolls is acceptable, implying that 30 dolls are excessive and two should suffice. This from a man whose name is plastered on everything from steaks to skyscrapers.

Meanwhile, electronics like smartphones and laptops are mysteriously exempt from these tariffs. Could it be because disrupting the tech industry might ruffle the feathers of major corporations?

Here's the kicker: while Trump touts these tariffs as a blow to foreign economies, it's American consumers who are footing the bill. Prices are rising, supply chains are disrupted, and families are left scrambling.

So, let's get this straight. The government is dictating which products you can afford, how many you should have, and from where they should come. Sounds less like free-market capitalism and more like a centrally planned economy. Is this the "economic freedom" we've been promised?
