US President Donald Trump calls for Americans to “be strong, courageous, and patient,” minutes before the New York stock market opens with further sharp declines forecast.
“The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO,” Trump says in reference to his tariff reforms that have upended the global economy.
“Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid!… Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!”
