Struggling families may find they can’t afford presents this Christmas — or worse, they may face empty shelves altogether — thanks to Trump’s tariff policies.

And really, what’s the point? It’s hard to imagine a sudden surge of American elves lining up to work in toy factories — unless perhaps it’s immigrants, who are being shown the door anyway.

But never mind. The tariff revenue from imported toys will no doubt help finance another round of Ebenezer-sized tax cuts.

This holiday season’s best pairs trade?  Short Santa Claus/Long Ebenezer Scrooge…And weep for our children

Note: As of the first seven months of last year, mainland China still made 79% of toys sold in the United States and Europe, versus 82% in 2019.  

This will be a huge political loser for Trump and we wouldn’t be surprised to soon see exemptions for the toy industry.  Stealing kids toys for tax cuts?  We don’t think so.
