“We’re having a stock market like just about they’ve never had before. Ever before. We’ve picked up… Piers, we’ve picked up $8 trillion in value during the course of 12 months…”
Fact Check:
This is a flip-flop for Trump. Before he was elected, he dismissed the stock-market performance under Obama as “artificial” and “a bubble.” Moreover, the U.S. rise in 2017 was not unique. When looking at the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index, it’s clear U.S. stocks haven’t rallied as robustly as their foreign equivalents. Moreover, with each 1,000-level increase, the accomplishment gets increasing less impressive.
