Trump: Investments Coming in Is Cracking $18 Trillion, It’s Largely Because of Tariffs

Trump: “And to your leader, who — when we met, I said, how are you doing with prices? Prices are coming down. He said, we were up 40 percent because of Biden and inflation, and they are coming down and they’re coming down rapidly. So, I hope that all continues to go. But we’re really doing well as a country. Most importantly, however, I will tell you, big picture, we have over $17 trillion being invested in our country in nine months. It’s now just about ready to crack $18 trillion. And by the end of one year, we will have about $20-$21 trillion invested in our country. That’s more by 10 times the highest amount ever invested in any country ever before, and it’s largely because of tariffs, and I think November 5th election. But it’s the largest amount — as an example, so, if we have 20 or 21 in one year, $21 trillion. Think of what that is. That’s car factories, that’s AI. It’s everything. They are all coming back because of the tariffs. They are all coming back. Because they don’t want to pay 15, 20, 30, 100 percent tariff. It wasn’t that complicated. People are saying, you know, Trump was right. It really wasn’t that complicated. But it’s been amazing. As an example, if you take me at 20 for one year, Sleepy Joe Biden, do you know where he was? Less than one for four years. And if they got elected, they would’ve been at minus 10 because people were moving out of the country in record numbers.”
