Bread Yes, But Roses Too

Trump’s Privileged Perspective on Childhood

Donald Trump recently lamented that an 11-year-old girl doesn’t need 30 dolls, suggesting she can make do with just a few. Honestly, I’m sick of hearing these rich folks dismiss the struggles of working-class families with their clueless comments about how many dolls or pencils a kid “really needs.” The truth is, most of us are fighting just to put food on the table and keep a roof over our heads—something Trump and his ilk will never understand.
