President Trump completely turned the table on NBC’s Kristen Welker today in a preview for Meet the Press on Sunday. Welker claimed experts on Wall Street say that an economic recession could be in the future.

But Trump was having none of that and went a different route:

 
This clip is only so long, but NBC News has a bit more on what more he said:

Asked twice by “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker whether it would be OK in the long run if there were a recession in the short term, the president said, “Look, yeah, it’s — everything’s OK. What we are — I said, this is a transition period. I think we’re going to do fantastically.”

Following up, Welker asked Trump if he was worried about a recession, to which he responded, “No.” Asked whether he thinks one could happen, Trump replied, “Anything can happen, but I think we’re going to have the greatest economy in the history of our country.”

The key word is ‘transition period’, and I think Trump is right that when that transition period is over the economy will be rocking. At least I hope he’s right. This is fairly uncharted territory for us.
