• Trump accepted a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar’s royal family as a temporary Air Force One
• He defended U.S. tariffs, saying Americans should “buy less” to help the country win again
• When asked about rising toy prices, he said children don’t need more than two dolls anyway
Soaring in Style While Prices Rise Below
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Trump continues to defend both his new $400 million Qatari jet and the ongoing tariffs that have driven up prices for everyday Americans. During a press conference, he waved off concerns about inflation by saying, “Your daughter doesn’t need a dozen dolls. Two’s enough. Teach her about sacrifice.”
Critics called the comment tone-deaf. Supporters called it relatable budgeting advice from a man who only travels in floating fortresses.
One Jet, One Country, and Apparently One Doll
The jet, gifted by Qatar’s royal family, has been described as a masterpiece of airborne luxury. It features gold-plated fixtures, private lounges, and a shower reportedly labeled “Freedom Rinse.” Meanwhile, families across the country have watched prices climb for everything from groceries to toys due to tariff-driven supply issues.
Trump shrugged off the contrast. “People say it’s hypocrisy,” he said. “I say it’s leadership from altitude.”
Patriotic Tightening, Presidential Reclining
In his remarks, Trump claimed the tariffs were necessary to restore American dominance. He insisted that rising consumer costs were simply a side effect of winning too hard. According to him, the pain is worth it, especially if it comes with extra legroom for the Commander-in-Chief.
He also advised families to cut back on ungrateful toy hoarding and suggested that one good doll builds more character than a dozen talking ones.
Critics Take Aim, MAGA Takes Notes
Economists and ethics watchdogs questioned the symbolism of accepting such a gift while preaching sacrifice. However, MAGA supporters seemed unfazed. One attendee at a rally said, “We’ve got inflation, but he’s got a jet. That’s balance.”
As of press time, Trump’s campaign announced a limited-edition toy line called Air MAGA: Plastic Freedom You Can’t Afford to Ignore.
