President Donald Trump touched on a series of topics in his Thursday morning Twitter statements, and in the most recent one, he declared that the stock market is soaring and everyone’s “409K’S” are doing great.
“STOCK MARKET AT ALL-TIME HIGH!” Trump tweeted in all-caps. “HOW ARE YOUR 409K’S DOING? 70%, 80%, 90% up? Only 50% up! What are you doing wrong?”
STOCK MARKET AT ALL-TIME HIGH! HOW ARE YOUR 409K’S DOING? 70%, 80%, 90% up? Only 50% up! What are you doing wrong?

Here’s a picture of the tweet before it got deleted:
Long story short, there’s no such thing as a 409k. 401k, sure. Not 409.
Here’s the corrected version:
STOCK MARKET AT ALL-TIME HIGH! HOW ARE YOUR 401K’S DOING? 70%, 80%, 90% up? Only 50% up! What are you doing wrong?

Anyhoo, here’s the Twitter mockery:
How did my father never tell me about a 409K? All these years I’ve been wasting time on a 401K.

409K? The constant typos matter. They underline Trump’s lifelong inability to focus on details. https://t.co/Dj4IFLggSh

A 409k is a secret type of retirement plans only alphas can sign up for. I have one. Do you? https://t.co/p77KV5loOC
