Press Gaggle: Donald Trump Speaks to Reporters Before Air Force One Departure - August 14, 2026

Mr. President, how are you sir?

I'm good. A very good show. The headline today -- does everybody know Karoline? She's with us. The headline today is exactly that. You see it? It says, prescription drug prices record sharpest drop in more than 60 years. OK? Got it? Everybody have it? And I told you that was going to happen. The second headline is this.

It says, the Trump administration marks 15 straight months with zero border releases as apprehensions plunge 94 percent. In other words, the border.

And that means for 15 straight months, we had zero people crossing the border. Are you impressed? Is anybody impressed? You are. Thank you. I'll give you the first question here. Go ahead. Go ahead, anybody?

What do you -- what do you hope to accomplish this weekend?

I have a lot of things that are happening, a lot of good things. The economy is doing unbelievably from the standpoint of Wall Street. We just set another record, as you know, 80 times where we're the best market in history. That's good for 401(k)s and it's good for a lot of things, but it's great for 401(k)s and jobs.

I always say, it's great for 401(k)s and jobs. We hit number 80, record.

So 80 days out of a short one and a half years, uh, we have a record stock market. 401(k)s have set a new record. And, uh, you take a look at the border, 15 months, zero people coming through our southern border. It's pretty amazing. And drug prices again, prescription drug prices down more than at any time over 60 years.

OK. What else do I have to say?

Family members of US service members are concerned about the conditions on board the USS Lincoln.

Well, no, that ship is moving. No, they're not. That ship is moving right now, or very shortly, and it's being replaced with another very similar ship.

Have deployments gone on too long? Are you worried about the mental health?

No, not nearly long enough. Thank you, everybody.
