Then, the president said he is meeting with oil companies.”
“I am also meeting with oil companies, you know what that’s about. We’ve got a lot of oil to drill, which is going to bring down oil prices even further,” POTUS said.
On losing the midterms: “We got to win the midterms because if we do not win the midterms… they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached.”

Wiles went into the office with him.
The flag on the south lawn was lowered at half mast. Your pooler is trying to confirm the reason why.

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Trump Policies Power U.S. Auto Sales to Best Year Since 2019 — Proving “Experts” Wrong (Again)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
01/06/26
** Trump Policies Power U.S. Auto Sales to Best Year Since 2019 Proving “Experts” Wrong (Again)
Earlier this year, analysts claimed President Donald J. Trump’s Made in America trade agenda would “deal a serious blow to automakers,” “cut sales by millions,” and “increase prices .”
These so-called “experts” could not have been more wrong:
• In 2025, new U.S. vehicle sales rose by 2.4% the industry’s strongest performance since 2019.
• Automakers are thriving.
+ Ford reported its best annual sales since 2019.
+ General Motors saw its overall vehicle sales soar, posting its best year for SUV sales in decades.
+ Stellantis increased its Jeep brand sales for the first time since 2018.
+ Honda posted its best U.S. sales performance since 2021.
+ Hyundai achieved record U.S. sales.
• Tariffs have had no negative effect on vehicle prices.
This success validates President Trump’s all-out push to Make Driving Great Again:
• Americans purchasing made-in-America vehicles can now deduct auto loan interest, thanks to President Trump’s historic One Big Beautiful Bill.
• President Trump’s trade agenda has spurred massive investments in U.S. production from automakers, including Ford, Hyundai, Stellantis, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Scout Motors, Rolls-Royce
(https://cnbc.com/2025/07/15/rolls-royce-south-carolina.html), Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Nissan, and others .
• President Trump’s reversed burdensome Biden-era fuel economy standards that would have added nearly $1,000 to the average new vehicle cost saving Americans billions over the coming years.
• The Trump Administration also eliminated the unpopular vehicle stop-start requirement, approved production of affordable and efficient “tiny cars,” revoked state-level electric vehicle mandates, and took numerous other steps to reverse hidden vehicle cost increases imposed by Democrats.
