    That’s an interesting point. When I first read the quote from Trump about 2 dolls instead of 30, I thought he was just out of touch - I mean are dolls still a popular thing in today’s day and age? Is he just out of touch?

    But no, there’s a reason for the usage of the term. Quite an interesting point, especially considering the demographic that largely voted for him this second election was younger men.

      It reminds me of 1954. A happy family sitting around the christmas tree, young Barbara unwrapping her new porcelain doll … It might be to appeal to the boomer generation and their conservative romantic memories?

      To me, it’s something my grandma might have said to me. So, yeah. Probably a choice of words to set the atmosphere 👵😊
