Good morning, Lemonheads. Hello, everybody. Thank you for joining us.
What happened during Donald Trump’s Davos interview that embarrassed the U.S.?
We are on a little bit early because we want to take you to Davos, Switzerland, where the president has just finished a speech, and it is apropos of what the thumbnail said, that he embarrasses the U.S. in front of world leaders or on the world stage. And so that is the president. Now he is taking questions, and his answers have been unbelievable. We need to do some fact-checking on this. But anyways, we're going to watch the president in this interview in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum. And he's being interviewed post his speech that happened just moments ago. Let's listen in.
Right around that certain building that we talk about, I always said it came from Wuhan. It did come from Wuhan. And they were body bags. We saw it by satellite. And they said, there are strange things happening in China. And so it began. And we ended up with the COVID, and the whole world suffered. We did a phenomenal job. I don't think we got the credit we deserved. We did something that Operation Warp Speed, which some people say was one of the greatest military feats ever. We did a great job. Used our military. A lot of people. But sometimes you get hit with things, nothing you can do. You get hit with things like that unexpectedly. And we got through it. And when I left, the stock market was higher than it was previous to the COVID coming up.
And I called it a great achievement. But things happen. Bad things happen. The things that we can stop are wars, if we're smart. That we can stop. Those are a matter of being intelligent and having intelligent people on the other side, because wars are the worst of all. Wars are worse than anything. Okay, so let me just give you some context here.
The questioner, the interviewer asked him about the U.S. economy, saying that the economy is doing well so far. You know, it just depends on if you're rich or not. And he started talking about his economy and his first administration until COVID came along. And he said, until that, we were going gangbusters. And he's insinuating that COVID was made up. He said, and then I heard a word called pandemic. But what he's failing to say and understand is that the reason that we did so poorly during COVID is because he handled it poorly. The reason the economy was bad during COVID is because he handled it poorly. He said it was fake. He told people not to get vaccines. And then he came up with the vaccine himself.
And then he walked away from it so now he's talking about wars which has nothing to do with what the reporter was asking or the interviewer was asking let's go
we need a little luck we don't want to get hit by something that nobody could have thought whoever thought we were going to hit by a pandemic you know i when i heard the word pandemic i said oh that's an ancient problem world war one they lost 100 million people it actually ended world war one a lot of people don't know they the spanish flu and world war one ended to what because all the soldiers were sick the soldiers were so sick on both sides i think most people know that he said most people don't know i mean from the Spanish flu. There were sickest dogs.
How did Trump characterize the COVID response and Operation Warp Speed in Davos?
They couldn't fight. So, you know, you don't know how that would have turned out. But so we do. I mean, subject to that. And I always have to put a caveat in for it. But we're poised to have the greatest growth of any large country. I think any country that there's been when you look at what's happening in the United States, it's really amazing.
Thank you. One thing that maybe keeps you up at night, I know you don't sleep that much anyway, Mr. President, is the debt. The U.S. debt is high, is now the biggest expenditure on your budget. How to get out of that impulse?
Well, the big thing is growth. I mean, growth is the way. If we grow like this, we go from having a $37, $36, $37 trillion. We go from having high debt to low debt. But we also are cutting expenses, you know, the old-fashioned way. We have extraordinary growth. I think we're going to be growing our way out.
