Trump: The U.S. Should Have the Lowest Interest Rates in the World

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “And all he has to do is lower interest rates. Interest rates should be lower. You know, every point is $600 billion. Think of that. $600 billion. All he has to do — if we went down two points, we don’t have a deficit anymore. And that’s without cutting. And it’s just a paper charge. When you think about it, it’s a paper charge. We should be the lowest interest rate in the world. The reason I bring up Switzerland because we should be lower than — we should be lower than everybody. You know, Switzerland’s like just about the lowest. If I charge them tariffs, they would not be doing very well. They would not be doing very well. I treated them very nicely actually, but they would be — and many other countries would not be doing very well. So I’m being very judicious, to put it mildly, but this country should have the lowest interest rates in the world. We keep the world going. We allow — you know how many — when I got here, almost every single country in the world that we did business with made money off of us.”
