US spending on video game consoles fell 27% last month, marking the worst November in two decades as tariffs and rising component costs pushed prices to record highs.

Then Trump suggested children are capable of cutting back on a basic school supply: pencils.

"No, I'm not saying that," Trump when asked whether Americans can expect to see empty store shelves in the future. "I'm just saying they don't need to have 30 dolls. They can have three. They don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

Nonetheless, Trump disputed that his comments should be interpreted as an acknowledgement that prices for Americans are going to increase as a result of his sweeping universal tariff on products imported to the United States.

"No. I think tariffs are going to be great for us because it’s going to make us rich," Trump said.

We're going to become so rich we're not going to know where to spend all that money.

We’re going to be so rich…maybe not 250 pencil rich though.
