President Donald Trump addressed growing concerns over a potential economic recession, assuring the public in a recent interview that the United States is undergoing a “transitional period” and will ultimately “do fantastically.” The remarks were made in response to questions regarding current economic instability and speculation about a downturn.

When directly asked whether he was worried about a recession, Trump replied, “No,” while conceding that “anything can happen.” However, he doubled down on his confidence in the nation’s economic trajectory, stating, “I think we're going to have the greatest economy in the history of our country.”

Trump also criticized selective narratives in financial media coverage, saying, “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 going to have the greatest economy in history. Why don’t you talk about them?”

The president’s remarks aim to reassure the public and markets amid fluctuating economic indicators and mixed forecasts from analysts. By framing the current period as one of temporary adjustment rather than decline, Trump positions his administration’s economic strategy as forward-looking and resilient.

While some market watchers remain cautious, the president’s comments signal continued optimism from the White House, maintaining a focus on long-term growth despite short-term volatility. The administration is expected to further elaborate on economic plans in upcoming briefings as it seeks to reinforce public confidence.
