JD Vance on Thursday defended Donald Trump’s insistence that children should have fewer dolls, claiming families will be happier once they know there are more U.S.-made weapons should their kids go to war.
The vice president made the stunning remark after Fox News host Martha MacCallum asked whether President Trump’s admission last week meant that American families “need to make some sacrifices” in light of the ongoing trade wars.
“We do need to become more self-reliant, and that’s not going to happen overnight, and it’s not always going to be easy,” he said in the Thursday interview. “What I’d ask people is not whether they want two dolls or five dolls or 20 dolls for their kids. I’d ask American moms and dads, would you like to be able to go into a pharmacy and know that the drugs your kids need are actually available to you?”
“As an American parent, would you like to—God forbid, if your country goes to a war and your son or daughter is sent off to fight—would you like to know that the weapons that they have are good, American-made stuff, not made by a foreign adversary?" Vance added.
