Speaking about the economy, he stated, “Financially, we will be stronger than ever before. I think the markets are gonna soar when they see what's happening.”
Trump highlighted his interactions with major business leaders, emphasising their optimism about the country's economic future. “I'll tell you what, I'm called every day by numerous big, big companies,” he said, referencing a recent meeting with top executives.
Discussing the Business Roundtable event, Trump noted, “They had the largest attendance they've ever had… Every single company showed up. First time it ever happened. It's been around a long time.” He described the meeting as highly productive, stating, “We had a great discussion. It went really well, and I want to tell you there's tremendous optimism out there about our country in terms of regulations being cut, in terms of taxes being cut.”
Trump also criticised his political opponents, urging them to support his economic agenda. “It would be great if the Democrats would do what's right. It would be great if the Democrats would do what's right for our country for a change because they really are. They've lost their way. They’ve lost their way.”
His remarks have sparked mixed reactions on social media, with supporters praising his policies while critics question their long-term impact. As the debate continues, Trump remains firm in his belief that deregulation and tax cuts will fuel economic growth.
