Former President Donald Trump has claimed that the current rise in the stock market is due to investor belief in his potential re-election. Trump stated that the market has been breaking records for the past year because investors anticipate his return to office. Additionally, he mentioned that during his presidency, the stock market saw the best numbers in the history of the country. Trump also claimed that his net worth surged to $61 billion following the public launch of Truth Social, attributing the increase to the stock price rising from $2 to $182 per share. However, he noted that the stock price has since declined due to speculation that he might sell his shares.

Trump claims he was worth $61 billion after Truth Social first went public and that it was the "biggest increase in the history of the stock market" because it supposedly went from $2 to $182 a share. He then says the stock price has gone down because people think he will sell. https://t.co/xztglG8IsW
