FOX Business host Larry Kudlow reacts to the president-elect’s wide-ranging press conference on ‘Kudlow.’
Trump’s confidence and understanding of politics in his press conference this morning explains his wildly popular post-election honeymoon, and that’s the point of the riff. Isn’t it nice to have a president who can effortlessly stand up at a press conference and make statements and answer questions for 70 minutes, without a teleprompter? Fearless, confident and attached to his principles. that’s what President Trump He did it this morning at Mar-a-Lago. It’s a wonderful thing to see and helps explain the cultural zeitgeist and the post-election honeymoon he’s enjoying.
He began by allowing his business friend Masayoshi Son of Japan’s Softbank investment fund to pledge $100 billion to invest in America First technology, showing that people are listening to Trump’s talk of bringing new industry to the United States. (and presumably be rewarded with a stone). 15% lower corporate tax rate.
We already know that Trump is talking to world leaders around the world, moving forward with his priorities to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, or promising to “pay hell” if he does not secure the release of the Hamas hostages. Or close our northern and southern borders to illegal immigrants.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, reacts to the Biden administration’s sale of border wall pieces and discusses ending government waste in ‘Kudlow.’
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Mar-a-Lago for dinner two weeks ago. That may very well have been his last dinner because his top deputy just resigned in protest and has an approval rating in the low twenties, but let’s wait and see how it plays out.
However, at today’s press conference, President Trump repeated his tariff warning to Mexico and Canada, and his trade bulldog Howard Lutnick was there, in case anyone doubted Trump’s commitment. Trump criticized the Biden administration for not telling the truth about the drone craze sweeping the United States, but he told us the administration He knows where they are coming from and suggested that he was not a hostile adversary.
Meanwhile, conservative columnist Ben Domenech believes drones are following FAA regulations in a planned Pentagon-sponsored exercise to test new drone systems. Ben points to a press release from last June that no one seems to have paid attention to. Still, there is no reason for the Bidens to withhold information about this drone story from the public.
Trump will defend Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS secretary and is even considering a pardon for New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who has been treated unfairly by Biden’s Justice Department because the New York mayor says he will cooperate with Trump’s policies to deport criminals and President Trump added that he will have to look at all the facts.
He was very calm in suggesting that people will get along with him much better in this second term than in the first, because they know he will deliver on his key political promises and they respect his electoral mandate for change.
However, he did suggest that he might file a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register, whose crazy polling on the eve of the election showed Harris up three points in Iowa, which Trump ended up winning by fourteen. He called that election interference, and he’s absolutely right.

He criticized the Bidens for selling pieces of the border wall for five cents on the dollar, knowing that it will need money and equipment to finish building the wall. He described it as an almost criminal act. Perhaps the only thing missing was a final decision on whether to delay Trump’s Tax Cuts 2.0 until the end of next year, but that will be resolved very soon.
You are not afraid to make decisions, Mr. Trump, and you are not afraid to defend those decisions and you are not afraid to speak clearly and truthfully to the American public and that is why your transition is tremendously popular, your approval ratings at record levels for this whole honeymoon. and continues to control – what I call – the new American zeitgeist. That’s the riff.
