Former President Donald Trump claimed investors are betting he will beat President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election.
Former President Donald Trump on Monday admitted that the stock market is on the rise under his successor, President Joe Biden — but Trump still tried to take credit for it.
“THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET,” Trump claimed in an all-caps Truth social post, “BECAUSE MY POLLS AGAINST BIDEN ARE SO GOOD THAT INVESTORS ARE PROJECTING THAT I WILL WIN, AND THAT WILL DRIVE THE MARKET UP.”
Trump cited no evidence to back up the claim that investors are buying into the stock market now in anticipation that the Republican ex-president will beat the Democratic incumbent in an election nearly 10 months away.
A spokesman for Trump did not immediately respond when asked if he could provide sources to support Trump’s claim.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average swelled to 38,000 for the first time Jan. 22, marking a 1,000-point jump in just 40 days. The S&P 500 hit a record high Jan.
