Subject: WH in-town pool report #4/ POTUS on economy
POTUS discussed the success of the stock market. “I think the market’s going to go through the roof.”
He said the building of factories will boost it further. “If they build their cars here they pay no tariffs.”
“I believe we’re going to have the biggest boom of all right now. You haven’t seen anything yet… We’re giving this money to children so they can have a good life.”
POTUS described Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as “central casting”.
POTUS said he and Senator Ted Cruz used to be rivals but are now friends and Cruz would get 100 Senate votes if nominated to the Supreme Court.
“This was the first ever joint bell ringing between the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq… It’s amazing the way you came together… Why can’t we do that with Democrats and Republicans?”
He said parents should go to trumpaccounts.gov. “This is something we’re going to be talking about a long time.”
POTUS handed over to Michael Dell and others to speak. He also promised to take questions.
