"The big news today, I think, is the 1.6%. When you look at 1.6 GDP, that's a number that nobody thought was possible. That's a real bad number. And it looks like the projections are it's heading in the wrong direction. And that's why the stock market's down so big today," Trump said.
Trump also touted a handful of rallies he's planning to hold in New York City, and suggested that he may even be competitive in the liberal state in the November presidential election.
"I think we have a good chance of winning New York. We're going to give it a big play. We're going to the South Bronx to do a rally. We're going to be doing a rally at Madison Square Garden, we believe.… We're gonna have a big rally honoring the police and honoring the firemen and everybody. Honoring a lot of people, including teachers," he said.

"We have a big case today — this judge wouldn’t allow me to go, but we have a big case today at the Supreme Court on presidential immunity," Trump said to the press, referring to the Supreme Court weighing whether Trump is immune from prosecution in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case.
"A president has to have immunity," he added. "If you don't have immunity, you just have a ceremonial president."
