re: Secretary Bessent and the Two Dolls Issue
Dear President Trump:
Treasury Secretary Bessent recently appeared on a FOX News telecast. When asked about the “two dolls” comment and the tariff situation with China, Secretary Bessent responded (transcribed from an online source):
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has a message for a hypothetical little girl worried that she won’t have more than two dolls because of Donald Trump’s disastrous tariff policy.
“I would tell that young girl that you will have a better life than your parents,” Bessent said, during an appearance on Fox News Tuesday night. “That you and your family, thanks to President Trump, can now be confident again that you will have a better life than your parents, which, working-class Americans had abandoned that idea.”
“Your family will own a home, you will be able to advance. You will have a good education, you will have economic freedom,” Bessent continued.

Respectfully, sir: Secretary Bessent is SO out of touch! He’s all like, Blah blah blah, and all the time a "hypothetical little girl” would be thinking: "But my mom had SIXTY MONSTER HIGH DOLLS when she was little, and I only get TWO? How is that a 'better life?'"
