Kids can do with a lot less, says billionaire wrecking the economy

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump on Sunday tripled down on his belief that it's fine that American consumers won't be able to afford as many items as they do currently because his tariffs will raise the price of goods.

In two separate interviews on Sunday—one on “Meet the Press” and another on Air Force One—Trump said that kids don’t actually need a bunch of toys and that it’s fine if they have fewer of them because his tariffs will make the cost of those items more expensive.

"I don’t think that a beautiful baby girl needs—that’s 11 years old—needs to have 30 dolls," Trump said in an interview with "Meet the Press." "I think they can have three dolls or four dolls because what we were doing with China was just unbelievable. We had a trade deficit of hundreds of billions of dollars with China."

Then on Air Force One, he told reporters, “A young lady—10-year-old girl, 9-year-old girl, 15-year-old girl—doesn't need 37 dolls. She could be very happy with 2 or 3 or 4 or 5."

1. Billionaires can do with a lot less.

Instead of 400 billion dollars, maybe they could get by on two or three billion dollars.

3. Exactly, let the billionaires do with less, let them pay their fair share of taxes

and give the rest of us a real tax break.

2. I did not have any daughters, but these days, I think the days of dolls are...

…long over by 15, maybe even by 10.

Mothers of daughters, please correct me if I am wrong.
