Donald Trump: My Son Should Have Fewer Toys (Made in China)

In an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, Donald Trump says he’s in favor of cracking down on China–even if that means his son, Baron, ends up with fewer toys. “It’s jobs,” Trump said. “Instead of buying from China we’ll be making the gidgets and the gadgets and the toys for Baron Trump and everybody else that buys their children toys. They’ll be made in Alabama and Iowa and lots of other places.”

Trump said a currency readjustment could mean higher prices for consumers–but more jobs in the U.S. And, in his home, fewer toys for his son. “You know, I mean I have a child upstairs. He’s got nine airplanes. So instead of nine he’ll have three. But they’ll be made in this country. And I like that. And he wouldn’t know the difference.”

The entire interview airs Monday night at 7 p.m. ET on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront.
