It is a dollhouse.

I thought the Trump doll looked pretty accurate.

Would have been better if they'd inserted the word playmobil in there somewhere.

Shows the mentality of those who made it too, they think nothing of smashing an expensive toy to promote their candidate, they really are out of touch with people on fixed incomes. Not a good thing to have such young children do either.

Is it possible they chose a toy from a non-US manufacturer to avoid a massive lawsuit from Mattel, Fisher-Price, K'nex, Little Tykes or the like?

That is a real possibility, I suppose. But then they didn´t think of us Europeans sending Frau Merkel across the Atlantic, perhaps that could be far worse then a massive lawsuit (she still has a reckoning to do with The Americans for tapping her phone).  ;D

I really dislike discussing politics on PF, but: Merkel is pretty much owned, she's not going to bite any American hands.

I don´t discuss politics, I laugh with it.  ;)
