He directly challenged the media: “Your claims about tariffs, deficits, interest rates, and the dollar are all wrong.”

Trump repeatedly rebuffed predictions by economists and statements from financial media, claiming, “You’ve been wrong your entire lives.” He called tariffs “the most beautiful word in the dictionary” and asserted that the president has the authority to tell the Federal Reserve chair how interest rates should move.
