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."
