Based on my search through Charlie Munger's public statements, interviews, speeches, and transcripts from sources like Berkshire Hathaway meetings and Daily Journal Corporation annual meetings, I cannot find any evidence that Charlie Munger ever said "young people would miss President Trump" in his books, speeches, or TV interviews.
Here is what Charlie Munger actually said about Donald Trump in verified sources:
2011 CNN Interview: Munger called Trump "the last person that I'd want to be President of the United States," citing Trump's "vainglory" and "puffery" as qualities that made him unfit for office

2023 Daily Journal Meeting: When asked who he would choose as President in 2024, Munger declined to answer, saying, "I think I'll duck that one. I don't want to get into the presidential politics"

While Munger did discuss challenges facing young people—such as noting in 2022 that it was "way harder" for recent graduates to get rich

—none of his verified statements connect young people to missing President Trump.
If you encountered a quote attributing such a statement to Munger, it may be misattributed, taken out of context, or from an unverified source. I recommend checking the original source carefully or consulting authoritative archives of Munger's speeches and interviews.
