In President Donald Trump's first term, he often defined his presidency by the stock market's performance, using it as a barometer of economic success. But as market volatility surges and investor concerns that the president's policies are careening the economy toward a recession this time around, Trump is adopting a new stance—one that emphasizes long-term resilience over immediate gains.

"It takes a little time," he told Fox News in a weekend interview, responding to the sharp selloff that has rattled Wall Street since his return to office. "We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing."

So far at least, Wall Street isn't buying what the president is selling.
