Trump Gaggle on AFI
President Trump gaggled with reporters on AFI for roughly 20 minutes, taking questions on the jobs report, who will be the permanent DNI, the Knicks and other topics.
Here are some of the questions and answers:
We had incredible job numbers today. The job numbers came out and they are fantastic. Far better than even anticipated.
Do you think the fed should cut rates given the job numbers? I’m going to let Kevin make that decision. I’d like to see lower interest rates because each point is $600 million dollars.
We have more auto plants than we’ve had before. We have more oil plants than we’ve ever had before. When the numbers are good they should be allowed to grow.
Who is under consideration for permanent position of Director of National Intelligence? I’ve had five interviews and a very good person watching things, Bill Pulte. But I have five interviews.
On how long Bill Pulte will serve as DNI director: It depends on how long it takes to get somebody in there. Bill Pulte is very good. He’s very talented.
The president also said he “wouldn’t mind” staffing cuts at ODNI.
Are you considering the possibility of the U.S. government taking stakes in AI companies? I did it with Intel so I made a deal with Intel. I made for the country $50 million. I took a stake in Intel and it was given to us. And it was just 9 months ago and we made $50 million on the deal.
Trump says he has a meeting in “the very near future” with AI companies to discuss a potential partnership with US equity stakes. He confirmed it was “all of them” when asked which ones.
“There’s so much money and it’s so big that there are concepts where pieces could be given to the American public, where the American public essentially becomes a partner.”
