Who Was The Bigger Grinch?

The other day, the Rancid Kumquat had a Grinch moment when he was questioned about his ill-advised tariffs and how it might affect Christmas. In response, Kumquat launched the earliest attack in the War on Christmas:

He was taking questions at the end of one of his marathon cabinet meetings when he finally allowed that, yes, his tariff policies and the trade war he has set off with China may soon result in some emptier-than-usual shelves in stores. Specifically, toy stores.

“You know, somebody said, ‘Oh, the shelves are going to be open,’” Mr. Trump said. “Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know? And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.”

It should be noted that Dementia Don wasn't the first Grinch we've seen, nor even the biggest Grinch.  We must not forget when, in 2013, Scott Walker sent out his infamous Black Friday fundraising email telling parents to give him their money instead of 'wasting" it on their kids Christmas presents:

 Instead of venturing into the cold this Black Friday, stay in and give your children a gift that will keep on giving.

This year, we are celebrating the Holiday Season with a Black Friday special that is better than any deal found in stores. Donate $5, $10 or $25 to help Governor Walker get reelected and save your children from a future of double-digit tax increases and billion dollar budget deficits.

Instead of electronics or toys that will undoubtedly be outdated, broken, or lost by the next Holiday Season, help give your children the gift of a Wisconsin that we can all be proud of. Governor Walker is helping Wisconsin move forward to a future where your children and grandchildren can experience...

Both incidents are egregious and calloused.  However, I have to give the Grinch costume to Walker since his attack was more direct and was all about benefitting himself whereas Grandpa Grabby was just cold indifference.
