Trump fans haven't quite figured out yet that his tariffs mean that they will be paying more to subsidise tax cuts for the very wealthy - like Donald Trump for example.
And soon they could be paying more for their toy cars as well as their real ones.
Because most of Mattel's toy cars (aka Hot Wheels) are made in Malaysia.
Like this Proton Saga:
Which, in turn, looks better than any SUV.
Car+Driver have their take on the story here.
Hot Wheels are currently retailing in Walmart for $1.18 which seems to be very good value.
They'll be nearer $1.50 if Trumps tariffs get passed on.
Which actually still seems like very good value.
But multiply that up by the number they must be selling in the States - and Donald will have a lot to thank American children for.
