🇺🇸💰Trump on the economy in his interview with the Atlantic: "We're going to be very rich"

Scherer: There’s talk on Wall Street of what they call a “Trump put,” meaning that there’s a bottom to how far the market will fall, because if we’re headed to a recession, you’ll change your tariff policy. If we’re headed to de-dollarization and bond interest rates are rising, you’re going to change your tariff policy to adjust for that. Is that a fair characterization, that you’re watching the markets and that you’re going to try and protect the American economy?

Trump: I don’t think so. I don’t see how I could possibly change, because I saw what was happening. I’ve been saying this for 35, 40 years: I’ve watched this country get ripped off by other nations, and I say “friend and foe.” And believe me, the friends are in many cases worse than the foe. Look, we lost trillions of dollars last year on trade with this guy [Biden], trillions of dollars. And every year, we lose trillions. Trillions, right? Hundreds of billions, but basically trillions; we went over the ledge into the T word. And I can’t imagine it’s sustainable to have a country that can lose that much money for years into the future.

And I felt somebody had to do something about it. And already, I have tariffs on cars, as you know, of 25 percent; tariffs on steel of 25 percent; tariffs on aluminum of 25 percent. I have a base tariff of 10 percent for everybody, for every country, and that’ll be changed. And a little bit of a misnomer: I have a lot of negotiations going on, but I don’t have to. I do that because I want to see how they’re feeling. But I’m like somebody that has a very valuable store and everybody wants to shop in that store. And I have to protect that store. And I set the prices.

And we’re gonna be very rich. We’re gonna make a lot of money. So I don’t think the answer is that it will affect me. It always affects you a little bit, but I don’t think—and certainly there’s no theory, like you say, that if it hits a certain number—I don’t know where it is today. How’s the stock market?

Goldberg: I don’t track it hour to hour.

Trump: Anybody know? Let’s see. Just give me the good news if it’s good.

Leavitt: It’s up. All green.

Trump: How much is it up?

Leavitt: Dow is up 419 points; NASDAQ’s up—

Trump: This is a transition period. It’s a big transition. I’m resetting the table. I’m resetting a lot of years. Not from the beginning, you know. Our country was most successful from 1850 or so to, think of this, from 1870—really, from 1870 to 1913. And it was all tariffs. And then some great genius said, “Let’s go and tax the people instead of taxing other countries.”

We were so successful that the president set up committees, blue-ribbon committees, on how to give away the money. We were making so much money. And then we went to an income-tax system after that. And by the way, they brought the tariffs back, and after the Depression started, you know, they liked to say, “Oh, tariffs caused—” I might as well get that little plug in, because the one thing they say, “Well, tariffs caused the Depression.” No, no, we went into the Depression. We were in there for a while and they said, “Maybe we could go back to tariffs and save it.” But that ship had sailed.

🇺🇸💬🇺🇦🇷🇺Trump on Zelensky and Putin:

Goldberg: Just to go back to the Russia question. “Vladimir, STOP!” You wrote that today on Truth Social.

Trump: Yeah, I did.

Goldberg: He doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy who will say, “Oh, well, Trump told me he wants to stop, so I’m going to stop.”

Trump: You may be surprised.

Goldberg: Well, if that’s the case, I’ll come back and say, “You were right. I was wrong.” But I think I’m right. He’s not the kind of guy who’s going to just stop trying to take over all of Ukraine. The question is: If he advances, if he has more military success—

Trump: Which is possible.

Goldberg: Blowing up apartment buildings—

Trump: Sure.

Goldberg: Do you ever see a situation in which you’re going to come in, not with troops, but with more weaponry, with full-blown support for Ukraine to keep its territorial integrity?

Trump: Doesn’t have to be weapons. There are many forms of weapons. Doesn’t have to be weapons with bullets. It can be weapons with sanctions. It can be weapons with banking. It can be many other weapons.

Goldberg: Is there anything that Putin could do that would cause you to say, “You know what? I’m on Zelensky’s side now.”

Trump: Not necessarily on Zelensky’s side, but on Ukraine’s side, yes. Yeah. But not necessarily on Zelensky’s side. I’ve had a hard time with Zelensky. You saw that over here when he was sitting right in that chair, when he just couldn’t get it.

Goldberg: That was one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen in the Oval Office.

Trump: All he had to do is be quiet, you know? He won his point. He won his point. But instead of saying “Okay” when I made the statement, I said, “Well, we’re working to get it solved. We’re trying to help.” He said, “No, no, we need security too.” I said, “Security?”

Goldberg: Well, isn’t he supposed to advocate for his country?

Trump: Yeah, he is, but somehow, let’s get the war solved first. I actually said, “I don’t even know if we’re gonna be able to end it.” You know, he was talking about security after. After. And then he made the statement, something to the effect that they fought it alone, they’ve had no help. I said, “Well, we’ve helped you with $350 billion, and Europe has helped you with far less money,” which is another thing that bothers me.

We’ll have to see what happens over the next period of pretty much a week. We’re down to final strokes. And again, this is Biden’s war. I’m not gonna get saddled—I don’t wanna be saddled with it. It’s a terrible war. Should have never happened. It would’ve never happened, as sure as you’re sitting there.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 The Russian Ministry of Defense has confirmed that the Aerospace Forces shot down a Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jet.

Yesterday, Ukrainian officials admitted the loss of the aircraft during an attempt to repel drone attacks. A Ukrainian officer from the 3rd Assault Brigade claimed the crash was due to “pilot error,” offering no further details.

Some sources also floated the possibility that the jet was mistakenly shot down by one of their own F-16s.

Today, Russia set the record straight — the Su-27 was destroyed by Russian forces.

The video allegedly shows the moment the jet was taken down.
