WASHINGTON (CBSNewYork) — President Donald Trump touted the economy’s 4.1 percent growth in the second quarter of 2018, the best since 2014. Speaking Friday from the South Lawn of the White House, the president said “we’re on track to hit the highest annual average growth rate in 13 years.” “I will say this right now and I will say it strongly, as the trade deals come in one by one, we are going to go a lot higher than these numbers and these are great numbers,” he said. The president said he’s confident next quarter’s numbers will be even higher. “We are now on track to hit an average GDP annual growth of over 3 percent and it could be substantially over 3 percent,” he said. “Each point, by the way, means approximately $3 trillion and 10 million jobs.” And Trump says as new trade deals com in, he expects the growth to soar even higher. He also touted record-low unemployment numbers among minorities and fewer Americans on food stamps. “We’ve added 3.7 million jobs since the election,” he said. “A number that is unthinkable if you go back to the campaign.” The president also said that “once again, we are the economic envy of the entire world” saying that when he meets leaders of other countries, “the first thing they say invariably is, ‘Mr. President, so nice to meet you. Congratulations on your economy. You’re leading the entire world.’” “They say it almost each and every time,” he said. Financial expert Bob Fuest agrees with the president’s assessment that this spike is no fluke. “People are happy. People in general feel a little bit wealthier,” he said. “A lot of economists think it is a one off and it will slow. I think it’s more like a riptide current and I think it’ll hold for a little bit, at least two or three more quarters.” And Fuest says New Yorkers are already feeling the impact. “I see a lot of retailers doing really well, as evidenced in the stock market, restaurants, higher spending, wage increases, and that’s all going to effect New Yorkers directly,” he said. About 25 percent of this quarter’s growth is due to exports, with overseas companies buying up U.S. products before new tariffs set in.

President Trump Touts ‘Great Numbers’ In GDP Report
HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA) — For the second time in just two days, police were called to Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame – this time to break up a brawl. The fight was reported at 11:25 p.m. Thursday, but when Los Angeles police officers got to the scene, everyone involved had already cleared out. The brawl, however, was caught on cell phone video and posted to Twitter. Witnesses say Trump supporters had shown up to take pictures with the new star. When anti-Trump supporters showed up, the two groups began arguing, then a fight broke out. No arrests in this incidents have been made. Thursday night’s fight is the second time the president’s star on the Walk of Fame — received while he was a producer and the host of “The Apprentice” – has required a police response. Early Wednesday morning, a man was seen taking a pick ax to the star , destroying it for the second time in two years. A man identified as Austin Clay turned himself in to the Beverly Hills Police Department about an hour later, claiming to have been the person who destroyed the star. He faces charges of felony vandalism.

President Trump’s former lawyer and fixer says he is now willing to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller. Michael Cohen alleges that then-candidate Donald Trump knew in advance about a controversial June 2016 Trump Tower meeting where Russians offered to give damaging information on Hillary Clinton. That claim would contradict repeated denials by the president and what the president’s son and son-in-law said under oath. Major Garrett reports.
