Trump won’t rule out a recession in 2025

President Donald Trump is confident that the country’s economy has a bright future — but he isn’t ruling out a 2025 recession just yet.

“I hate to predict things like that,” Trump said when pressed about the possibility of a recession during a recorded interview that aired on “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.”

The president touted his unconventional use of tariffs on allies and efforts to drastically cut down the country’s federal workforce. But when Bartiromo asked about rising fear of an economic slowdown, he didn’t rule out a recession — or the potential growing pains involved in achieving his economic agenda.
