President Trump says he doesn’t see a recession on the horizon

WASHINGTON – President Trump tried to alleviate fears of a recession on Sunday, echoing recent statements from his top economic advisers.

“I don’t see a recession,” Trump said as he headed to Washington D.C. after vacationing in Bedminster, New Jersey.

He added: “I’m prepared for everything. I don’t think we’re having a recession.”

The comments came after the president reportedly spent portions of his time in Bedminster fretting over what a global economic downturn could do to his reelection prospects.
