Former President Donald Trump has reiterated his positive outlook on the stock market during a recent statement, claiming that the market increased by 88% during his first term, with the Nasdaq rising by 155%. He emphasized his belief that these records will be surpassed in the future, stating, 'We blew every record away — and we’ll do it again.' This assertion comes amidst a period of volatility in the markets, with some observers noting that Trump's claims about stock performance have been a consistent part of his narrative since his presidency. The remarks were made as the market experiences downturns, particularly affecting major stocks such as Tesla ($TSLA).
I'm old enough to remember when Trump routinely boasted about the stock market as a measure of his performance.
Remember when Trump took credit for stock market surges that happened even before the election? https://t.co/JJVSMYD3Jf
🇺🇸 TRUMP: WE BLEW EVERY RECORD AWAY — AND WE’LL DO IT AGAIN "From the day of my election, the stock market went up in my first term 88% with Nasdaq going up 155%, more than any president has ever had in any term in office by far. And I think we're gonna blow that away." https://t.co/LCm5PRNGEE https://t.co/nC7rz6QwkY
