      BRING HOME THE LEGEND: Consistently overcoming the odds, Donald Trumps’ name has come to define the meaning of success. Now fans and collectors can bring home the legend as this officially licensed 12-inch collectible figure.

      17 AUTHENTIC QUOTES: The Donald Trump figure “speaks” 17 inspirational quotes, including his classic line, “You’re fired”.

      Also, looking through the reviews:

      My granddaughter’s Barbie would have had a new friend, but it did not talk. Returning this doll. Cute idea though.Returning the first one. AMAZON sent me a new one. IT DOES NOT TALK😡😡I am MAD!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

      I’m now imagining some little girl being given a Barbie and a talking Donald Trump doll for her to role-play domestic scenarios with during her formative years.

        Their example of an inspirational quote is “you’re fired!”? There apparently are 16 other quotes to pick from, none more inspiring than that one?

          investigates

          It sounds like a fair bit of them are either firing employees or insulting them. I don’t really get the appeal, but I also was pretty oblivious to Donald Trump until his Presidential run, so I assume that there are people out there who enjoy it.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_dolls

          The doll includes 17 phrases,[6] which Trump recorded.[4][12] The phrases, activated by pressing a button,[14] consist of quotes used by Trump on The Apprentice and in his 2004 book, Trump: How to Get Rich.[3] Phrases include:

          • “This one’s easy for me—you’re fired.”
          • “I have no choice but to tell you you’re fired.”
          • “I should fire myself just for having you around.”
          • “You really screwed up!”
          • “You really think you’re a good leader? I don’t.”

            Ah… yeah, so they are just 17 variants on “you’re fired!”, so they really couldn’t have picked a more inspiring example… maybe inspiring was a bad choice of word.
