And we’re so honoured to have you. And we’re gonna be discussing later on some of the ideas you may have to, as the expression goes, make America great again.”He added that the group had been “big beneficiaries” of his policies and “you’ve helped in many cases.”The pool report added that after touting GDP and jobs number, Trump predicted economic growth next quarter “could be in the fives”. “I think we’re gonna be very shortly in the fives,” he said, and stated that the GDP “can go much higher once we get new trade deals.”
