White House Challenged Over Trump's Controversial 'Doll' Remarks

The Independent’s White House reporter Andrew Feinberg pressed the Trump administration Thursday on how the president’s vast wealth compares to Americans who are struggling with affordability as the holiday season gears up.

During a stop in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, Trump repeated his claim that parents don’t need to buy their kids “37 dolls.”

“About his doll comments the other night,” Feinberg began. “The president is a billionaire, probably the wealthiest person who ever served as president. Is it a good look for him to be telling parents, ‘You should only buy two or three dolls for your kids,’ when he’s one of the wealthiest people in the country?”

Leavitt snapped back, “Do you think the people in that room in Pennsylvania don’t know the president’s a billionaire? I think it’s a well established fact. They re-elected him because he’s a businessman, understands the economy, and is fixing it, just like he did in his first term.”

Oh please. Trump has never had a majority in either election though this time he got a plurality, barely.
