In a recent Fox News interview, J.D. Vance shifted the discussion from children's toys to the significance of American-made weapons. He posed a poignant question to parents about whether they'd prefer their children's military equipment be domestically produced. This commentary highlights a broader discourse on economic independence and the potential availability of prescription drugs for children. Vance acknowledged the challenges ahead in achieving these goals but underscored former President Trump's vision of promoting self-reliance in the U.S. economy, as echoed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding economic freedom for future generations.
What I'd ask people is not whether they want two dolls or five dolls or 20 dolls for their kids... Would you like to... know that the weapons that they have are good American-made stuff, not made by a foreign adversary.
Vance, who also diverted from the dolls talk by arguing that kids' prescription drugs could become more available in American pharmacies, noted that Trump's point was about "bringing self-reliance back" to the US economy.
And that's not going to happen overnight, and that's not always going to be easy, Martha, he said earlier in the program.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News' Laura Ingraham that he would reassure a little girl with fewer dolls that they would have a "better life" than their parents and experience "economic freedom" thanks to Trump.
