Former Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said Trump’s remarks about dolls showed arrogance and ignorance from the president and those around him.

White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller defended Trump’s line on Thursday, Washington time, saying nearly every American consumer would agree a superior US product was worth paying for.
“If you have a choice between a doll from China that might have lead paint in it, that is not as well constructed as a doll made in America … and those two products are both on Amazon, [then] yes, you probably would be willing to pay more for a better-made American product,” Miller said.
