US President Trump had his first public conversation with his former personal attorney Michael Cohen on Thursday after a lapse of about eight years. Trump said that if a hypothetical election were held now, he would win “by 25 percentage points,” while claiming that the US economy “has never been stronger.” Trump believes the polls have underestimated his approval rating. In an interview on Thursday, he told Cohen, “I think we performed very well in the polls. Real polls. If I run now, I think I'll win by 25 percentage points. We're going to win big. The US economy has never been stronger. We have unprecedented data.” According to Cohen, the full 40-minute interview will be broadcast on Sunday.
