    He did say he would lower prices on day one, and prices on day one of his presidency were definitely lower. So he delivered, you just have to think backward in time.

    WELKER: Some people on Wall Street have expressed concerns that the possibility of a recession is increasing. And I wanna know what you think about that. Are you comfortable with the country potentially dipping into a recession for a period of time if you are able to achieve your long-term goals?

    TRUMP: Well, you know, you say some people on Wall Street say. Well, I tell you something else. Some people on Wall Street say that we’re gonna have the greatest economy in history. Why don’t you talk about them? Because some people on Wall Street say this–

    WELKER: Well, that’s what I’m getting at. That’s what I’m getting at, though. It’s the same question.

    TRUMP: There are many people on Wall Street say this is gonna be the greatest windfall ever happened.

    WELKER: And that’s my question. The long term. Is it ok in the short term to have a recession?

    TRUMP: Remember this. Look, uh, yeah. It’s– everything’s ok. What we are, I said this is a transition period. I think we’re gonna do fantastically.
