Marc Short, the former legislative director for Trump, criticized the ex-president's recent comments about the number of dolls and pencils children need, interpreting them as elitist and damaging. In a CNN segment, Short connected Trump's statements with the current economic situation, highlighting impending supply chain issues that would affect American workers. He emphasized that Trump's messaging could alienate voters during this critical economic time when port activity is slowing and inventory in stores is expected to decline soon.
Telling Americans how many dolls or pencils they can have is a let them eat cake moment. It reeks of elitism and comes just as ports slow.
I think it’s a little bit of a let them eat cake moment for the President; suggesting how many dolls and pencils people can have implies an elitist perspective.
