Donald Trump ended his media hiatus to jump in from of the cameras for one minute to take credit for the Dow hitting 30,000 even though experts say it is due to the positive news about vaccines and Joe Biden naming Janet Yellen to lead the Treasury Department.
“The stock market, it’s just broken 30,000,” Trump said “Never broken that number. That’s a sacred number. Nobody thought they would ever see it. That’s the ninth time since the beginning of 2020 and it’s the 48th time that we have broken records during the Trump administration.”
He continued: “And I just want to congratulate all the people within the administration. And most of all, I want to congratulate the people of our country because there are no people like you.”
