Trump Claims Stock Market Is Booming Because People Think He’ll Win in 2024 When Questioned By Maria Bartiromo

Former President Donald Trump claimed that the stock market is booming under President Joe Biden because investors believe he will return to the White House.

The Republican frontrunner joined Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo for an interview set to air on Sunday, where he discussed his economic policy and the current state of the economy under Biden.

Recently, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 index hit record heights under Biden. Trump tried taking credit for those numbers, claiming in his interview with Bartiromo that investors believe he is going to be the Republican nominee and beat Biden in November.

Bartiromo asked the former president: “So I mean, the Biden team can say, ‘Well, if things are so bad, how could the stock market’s on a roll?'”

“Because they think I’m going to be elected,” Trump replied, prompting Bartiromo to follow up, somewhat incredulously: “You think the stock market’s rallying because people think you’re going to be elected?”

“Yeah. If you take a look at Iowa, if you take a look at New Hampshire. The stock market’s been going crazy since then,” Trump added. “And and long before then, when I when I announced I was running, I took the lead early. And then I beat everybody, including Ron DeSantis. I call him DeSantis. And I took the other names away.”
