President Trump Participates in an Executive Order Signing, April 30th, 2026

6 points in Iowa sir? Not bad.

I'm up. I'm up good in Iowa. We're up good everywhere, unfortunately I'm not running, except for you. I'm up everywhere Peter, unless you say I can't. I'll leave that up to you. I love that. I love that. Peter's just a great boy. Well thank you very much everybody. We very much appreciate it. This is a big afternoon, they all are in a way because all of these things that we do are very important. This afternoon, I'm thrilled to sign a historic executive order expanding access to high-quality retirement savings accounts for millions of Americans. In my State of the Union earlier this year, I promised to make these same types of retirement accounts enjoyed by the federal employees available to all Americans. So that's what we're doing. It only seemed fair. It's a tremendous, it's a really a tremendous situation for all Americans that was really much promises made, as I say promises kept. I'm thrilled to be joined by incredible people that I know and they're warriors. Jason Smith, these are congresspeople, Brian Steil, Mike Carey, Lloyd Smucker, Bill Huizenga, Ryan McKenzie, John McGuire, Zach Nunn, Derek Van Orden, Jeff Crank, Nick Begich, Monica De La Cruz, and Mike Lawler. Warriors, every one of them, they're great people. They fought very hard for what we're about to sign. And since my election the stock market has set 59, this is in a little bit more than a year, 59 all-time record highs, adding 9 trillion dollars in value to really the value of our country, if you think about it. Under four years of Biden, the average 401(k) rose at a rate of just 875 dollars a year. Last year under Trump, the average 401(k) balance was up 24,000 dollars. So 875 dollars versus 24,000 dollars, I would say that's pretty good. This is really incredible, the numbers are incredible. The numbers being invested in our country are more incredible than anything. You see it, there are plants being built all over, all over the USA. We have auto plants, not just AI. AI is doing great, we're leading China by quite a bit. But we have auto plants being built all over the country. They're coming back from Canada, they're coming back from Mexico, Germany, Japan, South Korea, wherever they build autos, they're coming here. Nobody ever thought they'd see that. The union loves me, you know, I did very well with the auto workers, but they like me a lot more now than they did when I was just talking about it. Beginning at the start of next year, every American will be able to go to TrumpIRA.gov and open a new low-cost IRA account. You'll then be able to access the same type of retirement accounts that federal employees enjoy through the Thrift Savings Plans, which are incredible. As part of the Federal Savers Match program, low-income Americans will be eligible to receive up to 1,000 dollars per year in matching funds deposited directly into their accounts. It's a great thing. For millions of Americans who lack employer-sponsored plans, this will be really revolutionary because they'll be covered. Nobody thought that was possible. For example, if a 25-year-old who is eligible for a Savers Match program invests just 165 dollars a month, under the matching federal contributions, they will have an estimated 465,000 dollars in their account by the time they're 65 years old. In other words, they'll be rich. And there's something awfully nice about that. But this is only the first step. I was talking to Kevin Hassett a little while ago and the people standing right behind me, we're going to take it to the next level. And the next level, Kevin, you're going to mention something, but the next level will be necessary to have congressional approval. What you just heard, we don't need congressional approval. And it'll never be terminated because to terminate it if somebody else is in office, to terminate it, you'd have to take that money away. You'd have to, you'd have to really take away something that's so positive. I don't think any politician would do it. But to take it to the next level, we need congressional approval, which should be very easy to get. It should be bipartisan. Normally it would be bipartisan, but today nothing's bipartisan, right? I mean it should be something that everybody supports. So Kevin, before we start maybe you could just explain what we were talking about for the next level.

Right, so for the next level sir, what we're already talking, Chairman Smith and I about and there are already, I've been talking with Mr. Smucker about this for a number of years, is that we're going to expand this program that you're creating here which is for low-income people to middle-income people and maybe above as well, so that every American, you know, most high-income people have an employer that gives them a 401(k) with a match, but low-income people or Uber drivers or something, they don't have access to that, they don't have access to the match. What you've done here is you've given the match to low-income people with incomes below 35,000, but we think that there are a lot of people even who make more than that that don't have many assets for retirement and so we're working with Congress to significantly expand this program and are looking forward for legislation this year to expand this.

And also the Trump accounts, you remember with Michael Dell and Susan and the group that we had are setting records, the numbers are.

We have 5 million, 5 million sign-ups right now sir.

5 million sign-ups in a short period of time. Far above what we thought even possible. So congratulations to everybody that got that started. Michael Dell put in 6 billion 250 million, so he put in a lot of money and he's going to do more too. But they were very responsible. So I just want to let you know it's like record, nobody, you are even surprised by that number, I think, right? Way beyond what anyone thought is great. And we're going to be doing the same thing I guess in a certain way for older people, for grown-ups. We're going with a plan that if it, if it works, has to get approved by Congress, but we think it'll get approved. It would be fantastic for the country. Let's go. Will, you want to start? Some other things and we thought we'd let these great people from Congress and beyond, or below I guess I could say.

First sir, this is the IRA Executive Order that you just mentioned. This establishes the retirement accounts with the federal match for eligible people as you said in your speech and as Kevin explained. This is a big step forward, it's going to provide access to high-quality retirement accounts to a lot of Americans who don't currently have access to such accounts.

Okay, there it is. That's nice. Great. Thank you. Thank you very much everybody. Well there are some that aren't associated with this and then we'll talk about this with the press, you'll ask us some questions of the Congress people, okay? Because they were really responsible for this. All right? Who would like to hold it? Okay, good. Popular guy. Okay, let's go.

This is a presidential permit authorizing the Bridger Pipeline sir. This is a transborder pipeline similar to the old Keystone XL pipeline. It'll significantly expand our ability to move oil around North America, oil and gas around North America. It's a huge deal in terms of long-term energy dominance and energy security.

Slightly different than the last administration. Very different. They wouldn't sign a pipeline deal and we have pipelines going up and by the way they're way underground, they're not a problem, nobody even knows they're there. It's so crazy, but they wouldn't approve anything having to do with a pipeline and they're great. As opposed to trucking it or training it, it was, they're great. Lot of jobs too, lot of jobs. Okay, very good. Next.

This is an executive order on federal contracting sir. Many federal contracts currently operate on a cost-plus basis. This provides oftentimes weird incentives for contractors, leads to cost overruns, costs the federal government a lot of money. What this executive order does is it establishes a fixed-price contract as the default in most federal contracting. This aligns the federal government with what would typically exist in the private sector and we believe will continue to drive down fraud and abuse in federal contracting government-wide.

Would anyone like to object to this? Defeat it for this one too. Okay, thank you. Next.

You previously announced that we were withdrawing Casey Meads as the Surgeon General sir and appointing Dr. Sapir or nominating Dr. Sapir in her place. That on the left is the withdrawal which will later be transmitted to the Senate and on the right is the new nomination form for our new Surgeon General.

Nicole Sapir, she's with Fox, was with Fox. Is she with Fox anymore Peter? But she's great. She'll be the Surgeon General. I'll sign it here.

I believe she's with Memorial Sloan Kettering in New Jersey sir and she's an outstanding doctor.

She is. I just don't know how Biden used the auto-pen. Really there's so many things to sign, it's like here please take this. It's crazy. It was all, all four years was crazy. Okay, let's bring it up. She's going to be great. Surgeon General. Thank you.

This is a proclamation declaring this weekend to be National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend. As you know, firefighters do an incredibly difficult dangerous job, help keep us all safe. This is a proclamation honoring their sacrifice and remembering those who have fallen sir.

Great. Everybody likes that. Okay, firefighters. No one deserves it more.

Lastly sir, this is another proclamation. Your administration, particularly the First Lady, have made foster and adoptive care major priorities. This is a proclamation declaring National Foster Care Month, honoring those who have participated in foster programs, who have helped raise foster children, and speaking about the many things that your administration, including the First Lady's office, have done on that set of issues.

It's been a big thing for the first lady, so this is in honor of our first lady. That's fantastic. I was in foster care. Oh it's great, it's great. God is good. Thank you very much. Thank you Mr. President. So do you have any questions, maybe we discuss the first signing first? If you have anything on that.

Mr. President, how is this going to help small business owners? Do you think this is going to inspire more people to go into small businesses that might be reluctant earlier for IRA, to have the IRA that this is going to help give them?

Well I'll tell you small businesses are now thriving and as you know, more people are working right now than at any time in the history of our country. We're doing great and there's more investment being made in the United States than any country at any time, any time in history. And a lot of that's AI and a lot of that's maybe in a certain way more importantly, auto plants are all coming back to our country. They're coming back from different countries where they left us for Germany as you know, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Mexico, and they're all coming back at levels that nobody's ever seen before. And tariffs did it, I did it, maybe the election did it, but tariffs did it. And if they build here, they don't have to pay tariffs. So we have Germany is giving a lot of, a lot of companies are coming in from Germany, from Japan. Japan just announced 10 billion dollars more plants going to be built between Toyota and Honda and all the different companies, they're pouring into our country and South Korea. Canada, they're coming in, I don't know what they're doing but I can tell you they're coming in tremendously from Canada. There's no reason they don't want to pay the tariff. And because of that they're, so you know, they're investing at levels never seen before. We will, you know, for 30 years we virtually didn't build an auto plant in this country and now we're doing more than we've ever done. So I'm very proud of that. AI is going wild, we're doing great and we're letting them build their own electric, but we're actually making them build their own electric plant so they don't take, they take tremendous amounts of energy to have a successful plant and they're building all of the new ones, they're building their own electric plant like a utility and any extra they'll either give it or sell it for a good price to local communities and and to the grid. So it's going to be fantastic but we have tremendous amounts of factories being built in our country now, more than we've ever had at any time ever before and we have the biggest investment being made in our country in the history of our country, in by the way, in the history of any country there's never been a country that has the kind of investment coming in that we have right now. And these things are being built right now, so you're not going to see the results, I mean you see construction results, you notice the construction workers are through the roof, but when they open the numbers are going to be staggering. Do you have a question?

I certainly do, thank you Mr. President. You had some good economic news with GDP 2%, unemployment at the lowest level in 16 years, and IRS data shows that the average federal tax returns up by more than 11% when compared in the same time as last year. Do you believe...

It is up over 100%. Do you believe that this is evidence that the big beautiful tax cuts that you signed into law last year are working and do you think the economy is going to continue to hum as the year progresses? Yeah thank you. So the biggest tax cut in history is in the great big beautiful bill and I think you know I see it, I actually see it reported where people are shocked at how much money they're making, they can't believe the refunds that they're making, 5,000, 6,000, 7, 8, 9. One I saw one last night on television, 11,000 dollars more than she thought she was going to get. And it's no tax on tips and no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security for our seniors, no tax on social security, nobody can believe it even and the numbers are far greater than they thought. People that thought they were going to make an extra 500 dollars, turns out they're making an extra 5,000 dollars. So it's been really great, yeah. And that's going to carry forward. I think the country's doing really well. And that's despite a military operation, I don't call it a war, I'd rather have a military operation. We're really, I mean Iran is dying to make a deal, I can only tell you that. I don't want to get into the deal, but they got to, they cannot be nuclear, other than that, but they are, their navy's gone, their air force is gone, every ounce of any form of equipment practically is gone. You know, their drone factories are about 82% down and their missile factories are almost 90% down. And many of their missiles have been knocked out, they used some but we knocked out more than they used. And it's pretty, it's pretty amazing what's happened. They want to make a deal, but despite the fact that we are in what some people would call a war, we just hit a new high today on the stock market. We have S&P is through the roof, they're all, I mean they're through the roof. And you know, when we hit 50,000 on the Dow and 7,000 on the S&P, I said to myself, we got to do something about Iran, they want to have a nuclear weapon, you can't let them have a nuclear weapon and I hated to do it to my people because they hit 50,000 Peter, you know this, that 50,000 wouldn't be obtainable in my four years or anybody's four years. And we hit 50,000 in my first year, the end of my first year. We hit 7,000 on the S&P, they said that would be even less obtainable and we hit that at the end of the first year, before the year was up. And then I said to Kevin, sorry about this Kevin, but we have to, we have to put out a fire and the fire's taking place in the lovely country of Iran and they want to have a nuclear weapon. And if we didn't use this beautiful, see that plane right there? That beautiful B2 bomber. It looks small there but it's actually quite large. It doesn't look very powerful there but it's quite powerful, quite large actually. We ordered 25 more of them, the updated version, all built in America, which is very nice, right? But if we didn't have that B2 bomber, if we didn't go in and do what we did, we obliterated that nuclear capacity of theirs and so they never, they didn't get the nuclear bomb. If we didn't do that attack, should have been done long before I came along by other presidents or by another country or something, but it should have been done long before I came along. But they are in very bad shape and they've got nothing going, including leadership, I mean you know their leaders are gone. Now they have a whole new set, their first string leaders are gone, their second string leaders are gone, now we're dealing with their third string, but we'll see what happens. It's been an amazing period of time. Between Venezuela and where we're doing great, we're getting along with them great, we're working very closely with them there. They're, they're doing more oil now than they've done in many, many decades actually. And they're making more money and so are we, you know, we're like it's like a joint venture to be honest. And we paid for the attack many times over. The attack's something you've never heard before probably. I always used to say to the victor belong the spoils, but we've paid for the attack which is always expensive. But it was less than one day attack. It was actually a 45-minute attack. And that's a good, you know, they have good military in Venezuela but this they did not expect that and that and that and that. Other than that, but when these suckers come at you at 2500 miles an hour at 25 feet off the ground, they say this is not what I bargained for. This is no good. Anyway, so and now you know Venezuela was amazing, but now we're doing essentially it's larger but we're doing essentially the same thing in Iran. Can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon and their economy is crashing, the blockade is incredible, the power of the blockade is incredible, they're not getting any money from oil. And hopefully it can be worked out very soon. Yeah.

Mr. President, Iran is proving to be very stubborn. The talks seem like they are stalled. Are you getting antsy to break this ceasefire?

Well I mean I don't know what stubborn is because really nobody knows what the talks are except myself and a couple of other people. They want to make a deal badly. And we have a problem because nobody knows for sure who the leaders are, it's a little bit of a problem. You know the leaders have been wiped out along with their military, almost all of their military. I mean think of it, 159 ships was their total navy. 159 ships are gone. They're underwater, they're way below sea level. Sea level is a big difference, pretty deep waters over there too. So I don't know that we need it, we might need it.

And on Iran, a little while ago the President of FIFA said that when the World Cup is here in the US, the team from Iran will be playing in the games.

Well if Johnny said it, I'm okay. Are you sure Johnny said it? Johnny Infantino, that's a piece of work.

What if they win?

Well if they win we'll have to worry about that. That's that I'm going to have to worry about that one, that one down. But look, you know what? Let them play well. Johnny's fantastic, you know he's a friend of mine and he talked about it, I said you do whatever you want. You can have them, you don't have to have them. Probably have a good team, I don't know, do they have a good team? Do you have any idea? I have no idea. It'd be hard to believe actually, but I think let them play, right?

Mr. President, this is a little bit different, but what is your take on these reports that your show, The Apprentice, is going to come back, could come back on Amazon with host Donald Trump Jr?

Well well I've been hearing it. Look we had a great success, 14 seasons and The Apprentice was a tremendous success. So I've been hearing that, yeah, a little bit. So we'll see what happens. He's a good guy, he'd probably be good. He's got a little charisma going, you need a little charisma for that suckers. So we'll see what happens.

Mr. President, thank you Mr. President. There's been some talks about changes to your security after what took place on Saturday.

Well they did a pretty good job actually, you know, they stopped that NFL running back, I mean he was like a running back. In fact, if he ever got out there, probably going to sign him. He he was a speedy guy, but he was stopped and they had many levels in front of him before he would even come close. You know, you could be a baseball team and win 19 to nothing and somebody could say you should have won 21, you should have gotten 25 runs, the team was no good or something. So I don't know. I I can only say that I know a lot of those people, that Secret Service, and they were they were good and they were forceful. And I saw the guys in front of me, they were powerful looking guys. I said we could send them to Hollywood, they could they could make movies. I think that there's always room for improvement, right? And he got into the building. The problem is the, I know that's what I do, I build buildings like that. Much nicer actually, but I build buildings like that. And you know, when you have a thousand rooms sitting on top of a ballroom and you have the elevators coming down right near the entrance, it's a pretty tough situation. Now right outside we have something that's on time, on budget, actually ahead of time, ahead of budget depending on finishes. You know finishes is a big difference between marble and onyx in price. But it's right on budget, right on time. And that's built to the highest standards of security. No units on top, no hotel built on top where an elevator comes right down through the middle of it. It's a it's a tough location. But that's a tough location. So I think the guy, I know the people at Secret Service, I think they're great. And I think the Congress has to take care of those people. You know, they're what we're talking about, ICE, we're talking about Border Patrol, Secret Service, everyone is. The Democrats essentially want to defund the police, just so you know. They want to defund law enforcement. It's crazy. These people have gone crazy. I heard Hakeem Jeffries, a low-IQ person, he's a very low IQ, screaming today that the Supreme Court is illegitimate. I mean, that's a dangerous statement. Then if I say something modest, they say, "Oh, he's a king. He's a king." They they're sick. But Hakeem Jeffries said the Supreme Court is illegitimate. That's a rough statement. If I made that statement, it would be the biggest story out there. Bad things would happen.

The average price of a gallon of gas is now 4 dollars and 30 cents in this country.

And you know what? And we're not going to have a nuclear weapon in the hands of Iran. The gas will go down as soon as the war's over, it'll drop like a rock. There's so much of it, it's all over the place, sitting all over the oceans of the world. And it'll be, it'll go down. But what won't happen is if Iran had a nuclear weapon and used it, then the whole world is a different place. You're not going to have to pay a little bit more for gasoline. The gasoline, the oil will go down rapidly as soon as the war's over.

Mr. President, good to see you sir. I've got two questions. Uh, the first one follow up on Daniel's question. Uh, I've described you as the peacemaker. You're achieving peace around the world. Due to these latest policies, Big Beautiful bill, No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Social Security, No Tax on Overtime, now the Trump accounts and then the retirement, the IRA account. Could we describe you as the wealth maker?

Well I'm helping people out. I appreciate that. It's a nice question actually, but I'm helping people out. These people are with me, you know these these are great people. And and feel free to speak up if you'd like because they wanted this to happen and we got it done. And they're Republican people, I think in all cases, right? Which is crazy. We have to we need like always unanimous because the Democrats they will vote against anything, no matter how good. If they had their favorite thing in the world and we happened to want it, but we found a new strategy, we're going to oppose every single thing that we want and we'll get unanimous votes. So I'm going to come up and oppose everything, Brian, from this point forward and they'll vote for it. Go ahead.

Second question. Uh you created Space Force on the towards the end of your first administration. You just had the Artemis 2 crew in here. Uh I know it's a big accomplishment. What do you see moving forward the duration of your administration in terms of space exploration? I know that was a big moment for you.

Well doing Space Force was I think it's going to go down as one of my more important things. It's turning out, even a lot of these great military operations that we have right now, when you look at Venezuela, when you look at like the decimation of of Iran which was considered powerful, it was the bully of the Middle East. And a lot of that took place so effectively because of what's coming out of space. When we did Space Force, when I did Space Force, I'm very proud of it. Uh space was like we were third. China was first, Russia was second. Now we're we've leapfrogged, we're way ahead of China, we're way ahead of Russia. And we made some great choices. The first person that headed Space Force and really after that we had a couple of really great people heading it, very always very important. And a new person who's heading it now, I think he could has a chance to be as good as anybody, as good as maybe better, I don't know. But we've had great people heading up Space Force. It's been very important, it's been very important for what we're doing with respect to the different places. And as far as peace, I settled eight wars. And people try and dispute it but then they go over them. And almost in every case they sent letters thanking me and letters to the Nobel committee, I don't care about that. I've Maria was very nice, she gave me her Nobel Peace Prize because she said she didn't deserve it. She was very, very nice. But but I settled eight wars. And in every case, the people, the prime ministers or presidents wrote letters thanking me. And in the case of India, I look, the biggest one would have been Pakistan-India. The Prime Minister of Pakistan said I saved from 30 to 50 million lives, but it could have been more than that. Two nuclear nations were going at it. 11 airplanes were shot down. They were in the first week of what would have been a very bad war and I got it solved. You know how I got it solved? By the use of tariffs. I said I'm going to charge you tariffs if you guys keep fighting. And they said oh please don't do that.

You just lifted some tariffs, right? On you just lifted some tariffs on whiskey? Is that correct?

Yeah what I'm doing is uh for for as long as I've been here they've wanted to, you know Kentucky which is a great place and where I also won Jason by a lot. But Kentucky, uh with the bourbon and Scotland with the whiskey and they've had trade for years and years and years and a lot of restrictions, a lot of different restrictions took place that didn't amount to much. Uh and it it really stopped them. Uh I don't know if you know it's a barrel trade, they use the barrels from the one to take care of the other and the barrels are only good for one unit, in other words they can't be used twice, they can only be used once, but the once makes it a better substance. I'm not a big drinker, so forgive me. But it makes them a big substance and a better a better taste. But they dealt for years. This was Scotland and Kentucky, mostly Kentucky. And uh I took I just took all the restrictions off, so Scotland and Kentucky can start dealing again. And I did it in honor of the King and Queen who just left. They're heading back and it was a big deal. They've been trying to get this for a long time.

Mr. President Trump, you talked about uh possibly pulling out some troops of Germany. Uh would you be considering the same thing for Spain and Italy? I mean they haven't been exactly on board.

Yeah probably, yeah probably will. Why should I? You know, why shouldn't I? Uh Italy has not been of any help to us. And Spain has been horrible. Absolutely horrible. You know it's NATO. It's not even the fact that they're bad, it's one thing if they say nicely, or if they say okay, we'll help but the help's a little slow. But the level, and we help them with Ukraine, you know they made a mess out of Ukraine, a total mess. And we help them with Ukraine. Ukraine has nothing to do, you know we're an ocean apart, it has to do with them, it's like for them it's their front door, we help them. And Biden gave them 350 billion dollars, which was insane, it's one of the reasons the war went on. But when we needed them, they were not there. We have to remember that. And so if we ever have a big one, because we didn't need any help with Iran, we we had Iran right from the first day it was over. It was over. And now it's even more so, we're so locked and loaded if we want to do. But uh we didn't need the help. And to a certain extent I asked them, I didn't need the help but I say yeah we'd love to have you help because I want to see if they'd do it. And they in all cases they said we don't want to get involved. And you know the amazing thing is they use the Strait of Hormuz, we don't. We don't use it, we don't need it anymore. We have a lot of oil. Wait a minute, and they use it, we don't. And you would have thought they would have said we would love to help you, but they didn't, which I think was a very and Germany, I mean he's doing a terrible job. He's got immigration problems, he's got energy problems, he's got problems of all kind and he's got a big problem with Ukraine because they're in that mess. And he criticized me for doing the whole thing with Iran. But I said would you like to have a nuclear weapon in the hands of Iran? He said no I don't. I said well then I guess I'm right. He didn't have any answer to that. The bottom line is for this world, for our country, but certainly for Israel, the Middle East, and Europe, much closer. Uh you cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon and if you agree that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon, which most people agree, almost everybody, it should have been done a long time ago. But if you agree they can't have a nuclear weapon then what I did has been executed perfectly because our military has decimated them, yeah.

Mr. President, two questions for you. Olivet Shazi from the Daily Mail. You have called this the new regime uh before in Iran, but I speak to Iranians on a daily basis and they tell me that these are the same people that have murdered them, executed them, repressed them. I talk to them through the blackout and they wanted me to ask you this question. And second of all, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, how come he's not involved uh in these conversations?

He oh he's very much involved. Marco is very totally he's negotiating with them all the time. No look, Iran killed 42,000 people over the last two months, protesters. Uh they were going to kill eight women whose lives I saved and I appreciate that they didn't do it. I asked them not to do it, they didn't do it. They were getting ready to hang the women. They were going to hang eight beautiful women that had just caught the imagination of a lot of people, people were talking about it, you know it was inconceivable. You saw those eight beautiful people and they were going to be executed that evening, this was a week ago. And I got on the phone very quickly and I said don't do it, don't do it. The whole world is watching, don't do it. And they didn't do it. I appreciate it, I guess four were released and the other four are going to be released in a month. They were ready to be executed that night. So they take a tough, you know, they knocked out the wrestler they killed. They killed the wrestler's teammates. Uh he was he was a world champion wrestler too. He was a great wrestler, great talented wrestler. They killed him because he protested, he spoke. He didn't he wasn't wrestling, what he did is he spoke negatively about the regime and they killed him. They executed him along with his friends. They killed 42,000 people. So when you say about they they say that I do the same, I don't do the same. I'm trying to I'm trying to save that country in a certain way and nobody's ever seen it out there. Think of it, they killed 42,000 innocent, not weapon-carrying people for protesting. 42,000. And the number they say is a lot higher than that. This is a rough group. But we have decimated them. And their economy is a disaster. So we'll see how long they hold out. We'll see.

Saudi Arabia is pulling the plug on LIV Golf. Once that tour is gone, do you think the PGA tour should welcome the defectors back with open arms?

Well I do, it's a great question. In fact, if I had time, I'd love to watch television today because the PGA tour is playing at Doral, the Cadillac Championship. And I said who's winning? I don't get a chance, I can't even look. Jordan Spieth is in the lead. Who is? Jordan Spieth. Oh that's good, he's good. Great guy. Good putter, to put it mildly, right? He's a very great guy. Chipper putter. Uh no it's they're at my tournament right now, the PGA. In two weeks, LIV is going to be at my course right here on the Potomac. No I'd love to see LIV, but I do believe that all of the golfers should be playing, the great golfers should be playing against each other. I do believe, you know, it's sort of they sort of they were viewing something as a monopoly, but in a way in a way it should be the opposite of a monopoly. All I want to see Rory playing Bryson DeChambeau, I want to see Big John Rahm playing uh Scotty who's so great, right? Scott. Scotty Scheffler's great. And I want to see him play John Rahm and Bryson and all the different guys, they have great players on the LIV. But it's almost like people want to see that. That's why the Masters were so good because you saw everybody together. Patrick Reed played great, you know he's on LIV and he played great and they all did, they all played, they're great players. They play with them, they're very good. When I think I'm a good player and then I play with them, I don't think I'm that good. But but there's something nice about all of the players play together. Now they'll all be accepted by the tour, there's no question because they're great. If they weren't, you know, but the tour really will, the tour wants to have the best player. You can't have the best player that they're boycotting. Now they may do something, you know, a little bit, but uh they'll all be back on tour and it'll be great. And you know, having LIV too, now I don't know that what's happening with LIV, I'm not sure what's happening with LIV, but they are playing in my course uh two weeks on the Potomac, beautiful course. But right now they're playing at Doral, which I own and uh if I ever if we end this early I'll be able to watch for about three minutes because I get back onto the economy and every other subject that we have including Iran. We're doing so well with Iran so ho I think so, yeah.

Thank you so much Mr. President. Jennifer Shonberger with Yahoo Finance. Question on clarification of the Trump IRAs versus a regular IRA. Does it come down to the difference of a federal match? Who would qualify for that? And secondly do you have any reaction to Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell staying on the board of governors? Were you prepared to take any action on that front?

No I don't care if he if he stays on he stays on. That doesn't I just wanted to make sure that Kevin became the head. Uh it's very unusual that they stay on, you know, I I predicted he would because you know, who's going to hire him frankly? Uh so I predicted he would stay on. But uh you know, he's a negative i think he's a negative force. The thing that angered me about him more than interest rates was the fact that he could allow a building to cost billions of dollars more than it was supposed, I could have built that building, I could have renovated fixed that building, which is what I do, I always did well with it, for 25 million dollars. They're going to spend maybe 4 billion dollars, it's not even close to being open. You know Kevin, who's going to be fantastic, I don't know if he's going to have an office. I'm going to have to put him right here, I'm going to give him that, we'll cut the Oval in half, I'll give him half of the Oval. No it's uh I think I'm very happy about Kevin. I think Kevin's he's a star. And the other Kevin we're going to talk to you. Could you answer her question?
