“I hope you people are really spiritized, because we’re at a point we’re going to come out of Iran very quickly,” Trump said. “And it’s going to be very strong one way or the other, whether it’s a piece of paper or the very tough way.”
The president suggested that a resolution is approaching and emphasized that he does not expect the situation to drag on indefinitely.
“We’re going to come out, and your fertilizer prices are going to go way down, just like they were four months ago,” he told the farmers.
While discussing economic conditions, Trump made perhaps his most noteworthy prediction of the day when he offered a specific timeline for when Americans could begin seeing relief.
“I told [farmer] Ken [Custer], ’90 days, watch what happens, you could be better — better than you were four months ago!’” Trump said.
The remark immediately caught attention because it provided a concrete timeframe rather than a broad promise. Trump indicated that he expects current increases in both fertilizer and energy prices to reverse once geopolitical tensions begin to settle.
“Over the last couple of months since we went in for the military operation, you’ve seen fertilizer go up and you’ve seen the energy go up,” he said. “It’s going to come down to where it was, or lower.”
He added: “You’ll be very happy.”
The comments appeared to resonate with many attendees, who have been closely monitoring rising operating costs and the impact those expenses have on their businesses.
Trump’s appearance in Wisconsin was not solely focused on farming concerns. The president also discussed several projects underway in Washington, D.C., offering a glimpse into his administration’s ongoing efforts to improve the nation’s capital.
“We’re very proud of Washington. We had 22 fountains that didn’t work,” the president quipped, drawing laughs from those gathered.
The event featured a number of prominent Republican figures who joined Trump in addressing agricultural and economic issues. Among those in attendance were Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, and Congressman Derrick Van Orden.
Beyond the discussion of energy prices and foreign affairs, Trump also highlighted what he views as growing signs of economic strength.
The president pointed to the latest employment report, which exceeded many analysts’ expectations and provided another positive indicator for the U.S. economy.
According to the report, employers added 172,000 jobs during the month of May, a figure that surprised many economists who had predicted weaker growth.
For Trump, the jobs numbers served as further evidence that his economic agenda is producing results. Combined with his prediction that energy and fertilizer costs could soon decline, the president painted a picture of an economy that he believes is positioned for further improvement in the months ahead.
Whether Trump’s 90-day forecast proves accurate remains to be seen. However, his message to Wisconsin farmers was clear: relief may be closer than many expect.
With inflation, fuel costs, and international uncertainty remaining major concerns for working Americans, Trump is betting that both global developments and domestic economic performance will soon give voters something they have not seen in quite some time—lower costs and stronger financial confidence.
