Trump Says He Doesn’t See Possibility of Recession, Not Concerned With Market Selloff

The president is confident that his actions will result in future prosperity for the nation.

President Donald Trump on March 11 rejected the notion that a recession could be on the horizon.

“I don’t see it at all,” Trump said outside the South Portico of the White House flanked by new Tesla vehicles and special government employee Elon Musk. “I think this country is going to boom. I think we’re going to have the greatest markets we’ve ever had.”

After stock markets were rattled by comments he made over the weekend where he didn’t exclude the possibility of a recession, he said in his latest comments that the recent volatility reflects an economic overhaul currently underway and is no cause for concern.

“The markets are going to go up and they’re going to go down but what we really have to do is rebuild our country,” Trump said.

“We’re the biggest and the best, and I’m very optimistic we’re going to make our country wealthy again, and we’re going to bring the jobs back.”

Over the past month, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down more than 7 percent, the Standard & Poor 500 declined more than 8 percent, and the Nasdaq fell more than 11 percent. Approximately $4 trillion in market value was erased over the same timeframe.

Markets have followed Trump’s remarks repeatedly over the past weeks, with investors looking for signs about how trade policies and tariffs could impact equities. Seesawing foreign policy negotiations punctuated by on again, off again tariff threats with Mexico and Canada have left finance experts without clear direction.

Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla, among a host of other companies, saw their stock prices hammered in recent days.

Cryptocurrencies were also slammed over the past month, with Bitcoin falling nearly 16 percent and Ethereum dropping more than 28 percent.

Rumors of an incoming recession persist but Trump is confident a turnaround is imminent.

“Long-term, what I’m doing is making our country strong again.”

The president said the decline in market value is a result of former President Joe Biden’s policies.
