Out-of-town pool report 9: Roundtable cont.

POTUS mostly stuck to remarks on the economy and tax cuts, with asides throughout — mostly on Iran. Again, please check against feed.

“In one form or another, more than 50% [of Americans] have taken advantage of the things that we put into the bill.”

“We can never forget” Dems voted for tax increases

“They voted for the largest tax hike in history”

“Despite our little diversion to the little country of Iran” … “the job we’ve done has been amazing.”

He downplayed fuel prices and said, “let’s see what happens over the next two week or so,” Trump said. “I think you will be very impressed.” He said vote for Republicans in the midterms

He’s now tossing to other speakers. First up is Bessent
