Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shares jumped on Friday morning after President Trump said late Thursday that the mortgage giants were "probably worth $1 trillion," reviving Wall Street hopes for a long-awaited exit from government control.President Trump praised FHFA Director Bill Pulte on Thursday for turning around Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, saying the mortgage giants "probably have $1 trillion in value."Full transcript:"...a person who's got high integrity. He's done a phenomenal job at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac. You probably have $1 trillion in value there. When he took over it was much less, and I guess I'm responsible for that too because everybody wanted me to sell it in my first term for 10% of what it's worth right now. If I would've sold it, we would've lost $900 billion. We would've lost. Think about it. It's probably worth $1 trillion. People want me to sell it at $100 billion — a very small percentage of what it's worth now. And he built up a lot. Did a great job. And it's an acting position. He is not going to be permanent because I don't think you'd want to be. But he was a smart guy. You may find out some things about the rigged elections, etc. etc. I think he wants to do it. He's got a lot of energy but will be very good. He's not a permanent position. We're looking at — we are interviewing people right now. But it is somebody just to take over for a little while.".@POTUS on @pulte: "He's very smart. He's a person who's got high integrity. He's done a fantastic job... and it's an Acting position. He's not going to be permanent because I don't think he'd want to be permanent. But he's a very smart guy." pic.twitter.com/2wqOy7VtaS
