Trump Acknowledges Potential Short-Term Recession as 'OK'

In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump addressed concerns about a potential economic recession, stating that a short-term downturn would be 'OK.' The interview, conducted by Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker, explored various economic issues, including inflation and the possibility of rising interest rates.

Trump's comments suggest a willingness to accept some economic pain in the short term. He did not elaborate on the specific reasons for this perspective, but the interview provides insights into his thinking on economic policy. Experts have differing opinions on the likelihood and severity of a potential recession. Some economists believe that the Federal Reserve's efforts to control inflation could trigger a slowdown, while others argue that the economy remains resilient. The full interview with Trump is expected to provide further context to his remarks.
