Ten days later, the Nasdaq is now up in the month of April. And I haven't seen a story that says, oh, the stock market has biggest bounce back ever," Bessent said. "I think a lot of this is media driven." MARTHA RADDATZ, ABC: Let's start with the polls. For the very first time the president's polling numbers on the economy are under water with 53 percent saying it has gotten worse under President Trump, with 72 percent of those in our poll saying it is very or somewhat likely that his economic policies will cause a recession.

Ten days later, the Nasdaq is now up in the month of April. And I haven't seen a story that says, oh, the stock market has biggest bounce back ever. So, I think-- RADDATZ: Well, it certainly – it certainly has gone back and forth. BESSENT: I think a lot of this is media driven.
