He also was not asked about the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether it factors into his view of the year ahead.

“I think we’re going to have a great form of wealth,” Trump replied, when asked for his 2019 predictions. He added “tremendous success with trade deals” and “a tremendously rebuilt military for strength.”

As for his 2019 resolutions, Trump skipped the usual about healthier living, self improvement or charity.
