Remarks: Donald Trump Speaks to Reporters Before Marine One Departure - September 27, 2026

So, I'm going to the Chicago area, where they have the Presidents Cup, and they were nice enough to name me chairman, or honorary chairman, so it's an honor. It's a very big event, one of the biggest events in golf by far. You have the Ryder Cup and you have the Presidents Cup. This is the big one. And so, it's a great honor.

So, I'm going there. I'll be there for a while. Some of you are coming with me, and we'll have a lot of fun. We have the best employment numbers that came out in the history of our country. More people working today than at any time ever before. We have the best, I guess you could say poverty. They talk poverty. We have the best poverty numbers ever in the history of our country.

In other words, there's less poverty now than at any time in the history of our country. And we have the best income numbers per individual in the history of our country. People are making more money than they've ever made before. With all of that, oil will come dropping down as soon as Iran gives up, as soon as the war is over, which will be soon.

Oil is going to come plummeting down, and all prices are coming down. But prices for groceries have come way down from Biden. Almost every price has come way down. And remember one thing, oil is less expensive now than it was under the Biden administration. But with all of that being said, we're taking tremendous amounts of oil out. Last night, we took a record amount of oil out from the Hormuz Strait, more than we took out before the war. Thank you very much.
