Trump: ‘There’s No Reason We Should Stop at 4%’; ‘We Should Be at 12% and 13%’ GDP Growth

TRANSCRIPT:

TRUMP: “You have a couple of countries. India is one, doing very well, but it’s at 7, 8 percent. Others — take a look at Japan’s numbers. I mean, they’re doing very well. She’s very good. She’s doing a good job. A friend of mine. But they’re allowed to go up. We’re not allowed to go up. If we go up, they want to kill it. There’s no reason we should stop at 4 percent. We should be at 12 percent and 13 percent GDP. And I hate what happens, where in the old days we would be — that’s how we built the country. Now, you announce positive things and they want to bring it down by raising interest rates. And it shouldn’t be that way. It should go back to the way it was.”
