Trump Lies About Gas and Grocery Prices, Defends Tariffs, Rolling Stone, 5/4/25
. . .
Welker pointed out that because of the tariffs, "You said some dolls are going to cost more. Isn't that an acknowledgment that some prices will go up?"

"I don't think that a beautiful baby girl needs - that's 11 years old - needs to have 30 dolls," said Trump, whose children were raised in a gilded penthouse. "I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... " . . . "I'm just saying they don't need to have 30 dolls. They can have three. They don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

He added, "We don't have to waste money on a trade deficit with China for things we don't need, for junk that we don't need."

Trump did, however, admit that keeping tariffs on China at current levels is untenable.

. . .

"When does it become the Trump economy?" Welker asked.

"It partially is right now," Trump said. "I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy."


On April 30, I heard him also quoted, besides not needing 30 dolls, two is enough, is that they may cost $2 more (when asked about the price impact of tariffs)

At what age does a baby girl become a girl in MAGA World?
