They're dying to make a deal," the former star of The Apprentice claimed in a Sunday, April 6, Truth Social post. "But I said we're not gonna have deficits with your country.

Despite the backlash, Donald Trump and members of his administration are convinced they won't be hurling the country into a recession. White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro appeared on Fox News' Ingraham Angle on Monday, April 7, and claimed there won't be any financial turmoil."But look, here's the thing, it's going to shift over and it's going to be companies in the S&P 500 who are the first to produce here," he claimed.
