That is the translation. However, Marie Antoinette probably never said it.

It was attributed to her decades after her death.
It was attributed to “a great princess” before she arrived in France.

So it’s probably just made up.

If Talleyrand's ghost could speak he might say:

"I've met 'Madame Déficit'. I liked 'Madame Déficit'. And Ivanka Trump... is no 'Madame Déficit'. In fact, she's not even worthy of being called a 'Poissarde' or Fishwife"

Accurately describes the old regimes attitude to the plight of the starving peasantry in pre revolutionary France though, and I can imagine it being uttered as a quip around a card table. But yeah probably she wasn’t that witty.
