Daily Beast - President Donald Trump took aim at the “country” of Mattel, the manufacturer of Barbie dolls and Hot Wheels. Earlier this week, the company indicated that it would bump up prices because of the president’s 145 percent tariff on most Chinese exports. When asked about it Thursday, Trump claimed that that was part of a negotiating ploy.
“Mattel, I don’t know. I’m not so sure. They also said—they’re the only country I’ve heard, they said, ‘Well, we’re going to go counter. We’re going to try going someplace else.’ That’s okay,“ Trump said
RBReich - Trump just fired the three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC regulates the safety of everyday consumer products. Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's "unconstitutional"? Amazon.

President Donald Trump lashed out ... against legislation signed by former President Joe Biden aimed at increasing access to high-speed internet, arguing that it was “racist” and “unconstitutional.”
“I have spoken with my wonderful Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, and we agree that the Biden/Harris so-called ‘Digital Equity Act’ is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Thursday afternoon.
It was a statement that made Trump’s wish to dismantle the work of his predecessor clear. The legislation was part of the $1 trillion infrastructure bill Biden signed early in his term in office. It aims to improve access to high-speed internet in communities with limited access.
The legislation was enacted to help a number of groups, such as veterans, older people, the disabled, and rural communities. But Trump took aim at the law for also trying to boost internet access for ethnic and racial minorities.
“No more woke handouts based on race! The Digital Equity Program is a RACIST and ILLEGAL $2.5 BILLION DOLLAR giveaway. I am ending this IMMEDIATELY, and saving Taxpayers BILLIONS OF DOLLARS!” he added on Truth Social
