The Situation is Under Control, Believe Me

Let me tell you, folks, nobody knows more about handling situations like this than yours truly. We had a little action in the Gulf of Oman, you know, a cargo ship situation. The Navy, fantastic people, they took care of it. We're not going to let Iran push us around. Remember, I said I could knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran? I meant it. But, we are about peace through strength, folks. The strongest peace.

Oil, Oil, Oil – We're Drowning in It, But We're Doing Great

You see these oil prices going up? WTI up 6.20%, Brent up 5.40%. Some people say it's bad, but think about it. A lot of very unfair things are happening and we need to balance this. But, the U.S. is energy independent now, the most energy independent ever, thanks to yours truly. We have great resources, the best. However, these tensions make sure that certain people play fair. Speaking of things being balanced, you know what else needs balance? Our approach to situations like the one in the Strait of Hormuz Reopens Amidst Ceasefire Uncertainty. The fake news won't tell you that.

Asia is Doing Tremendous, Just Tremendous

Asia-Pacific markets, you see South Korea up, Japan up. Even China, despite everything, they are holding steady, great numbers. They are tough negotiators, believe me, I know. But we're dealing with them, and we're going to make great deals. We're going to make America greater than ever, but we want everyone to do well. Everyone.

China's Numbers, Not Bad, Not Bad At All

China is holding its lending rates steady. Smart move. Their economy grew, not as fast as it could, but still okay. They are lowering their growth target. Little ambitious, but they know what they are doing. Maybe. We are watching them very closely, folks. Very, very closely. We'll see what happens, folks. We will.

Wall Street, Setting Records, Folks. Setting Records

Wall Street is doing fantastic, record numbers, the best numbers. The S & P 500 crossed 7,100. Never been done before, folks. The Nasdaq, winning streaks, like you have never seen. It's all because of the policies, the great policies we put in place. Everyone is talking about it, you know. Everyone.

Promises Made, Promises Kept

So, we're keeping an eye on everything, folks. We're going to make sure America is safe, secure, and very, very prosperous. We are going to continue to put America first. It's what we do, it's what we're good at. And believe me, folks, we're going to win, win, win. And you're going to be so sick of winning, you're going to say, 'Please, please Mr. President, no more winning.' And I'm going to say, 'No, we're going to keep winning.'
