Trump Fact Check Summary
4:41

Well, it’s not really the Iran war because the numbers are phenomenal. The numbers that we have are historically good numbers. I think it was bad messaging, maybe by me, but I would talk about it all the time, so I don’t know how much can I talk about it. Look, the press doesn’t cover the press doesn’t cover positive news for Republicans. They don’t cover certainly positive news for me. So I have to do it myself, I have to get it out there. One of the reasons I did rallies was to do that. But I would talk about how good we have historically good numbers. Records confirm this: We have the highest stock market in history. Now, Records contradict this: we lost yesterday because of the election, $3 trillion. Records contradict this: The market lost almost 2,000 points because of the Democrats.

They got in and the world said, I don’t want to invest with these people because they look what happened in France, they look what happened in Italy and all over the world and they say this is the same ideology. But we have had let’s go be the day before yesterday, right? Before uh, where the election, you know, when we’re talking about now, Records contradict this: a day before the election, we picked up $25 trillion in worth, in the worth of our in value. Nobody’s ever done that before.

5:58

But why don’t Americans feel it?

6:00

They don’t.

The transcript at 4:41, with claim 16 open beside it.

The right number, on the wrong day

“The market lost almost 2,000 points,” the President said, blaming the election. The day after the vote, the Dow rose 1,569.40 points. The drop of 1,833.06 points came a day later, in a sell-off of tech shares.
