    “I’m just saying [children] don’t need to have 30 dolls, they can have three, they don’t need to have 250 pencils, they can have five,” Trump said.

    Before it was 2 dolls instead of 30, or a 93% reduction.

    Now it’s 5 pencils instead of 250, or a 98% reduction.

    But more broadly, if I were Trump, I don’t think that I’d be focusing public attention on standard-of-living reductions among American children.

      A man that literally shits on a golden toilet lecturing people about austerity is peak irony, though.
