Trump: ‘I Don’t See a Recession, the World Is in a Recession Right Now’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "I don't see a recession. I mean, the world is in a recession right now, and although that's too big a statement, but if you look at China, China's doing very, very poorly. They've had, I just saw a report, they’ve had the worst year they've had in 27 years because of what I’ve done, and they want to come to the negotiating table. You know, they are having companies — the companies are leaving and they are laying off millions of people because they don’t want to pay 25 percent and that’s why they want to come to the table, I don’t think there's another reason, other than President Xi, I'm sure, likes me very much. But they're losing millions and millions of jobs in China and we're not paying for the tariffs, China is paying for the tariffs for the 100th time. And I understand tariffs very well, other countries it may be that if I do things with other countries, but in the case of China, China is eating the tariffs. At least so far."
