Trump touts presidential power and finances on CNBC interview

During a CNBC interview, Trump defended his business dealings and his family’s finances as being managed by outside firms, while asserting the presidency has grown stronger under a recent Supreme Court ruling that expands the president’s power over independent agencies (with limits on firing Fed officials). He floated potential government stakes in OpenAI and Intel, pushed the Save America Act and housing bills, and touted U.S. leadership in AI and chip manufacturing, alongside debatable claims about tariffs, GDP, and the Iran war. He also criticized opponents as communists and noted his children’s business interests are largely overseen by others.
