By Matt Underwood After claiming the stock market would crash if Biden wins in 2020, Trump tries to take credit for 2024 stock market record high
It’s truly mind-boggling how some individuals continue to believe anything that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth. From his outlandish claims about the stock market to his incessant need to be the center of attention, Trump’s words and actions reek of pure delusion. He seems to live in a world where reality is disregarded in favor of his own narcissistic fantasies.
Let’s take a moment to reflect on his previous prediction that the stock market would crash if Biden won the 2020 election. In one of his all-caps Truth Social posts, Trump boldly declared, “THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET BECAUSE MY POLLS AGAINST BIDEN ARE SO GOOD THAT INVESTORS ARE PROJECTING THAT I WILL WIN, AND THAT WILL DRIVE THE MARKET.”
How can anyone with even half a functioning brain take these claims seriously? It’s clear that Trump’s self-aggrandizing statements are nothing more than empty words devoid of any factual basis. He wants the stock market to reflect his own ego rather than the actual state of the economy. It’s as if he believes that if he repeats his lies enough times, they will somehow become reality.
The truth is, Trump has a long history of distorting facts to fit his own narrative. He tried to take credit for Obama’s restored economy, conveniently forgetting that it was Obama’s policies that lifted the country out of the recession caused by the previous administration. And let’s not forget that Trump himself filed for bankruptcy six times and lost nearly a billion dollars over a span of ten years. This doesn’t exactly scream financial genius, does it?
During Trump’s tenure in office, entire industries collapsed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. How can he possibly claim credit for a record-high stock market in 2024? It’s absurd to think that he had any influence over the market’s success. Yet, he shamelessly tries to take credit for something he had no hand in.
Trump’s behavior is typical of a narcissistic individual who thrives on attention and seeks to glorify himself at every opportunity. He wants the world to revolve around him and his perceived accomplishments. But the reality is that he is nothing more than a pathetic loser, as evidenced by his numerous failures and bankruptcies.
It’s disheartening to see how easily Trump’s cult-like followers fall for his lies and continue to support him without question. They disregard any evidence that contradicts his claims and blindly follow his lead. It’s a disturbing display of blind loyalty that shows just how susceptible some people are to manipulation.
Instead of focusing solely on Trump, we need to redirect our attention towards those who enable and support him. Trump himself is not the root of the problem; it’s the brainless zombies who believe in his every word. We need to start addressing the underlying issues that allow individuals like Trump to thrive and gain such a following.
In conclusion, Trump’s attempt to take credit for the 2024 stock market record high is nothing more than a desperate ploy to feed his insatiable ego. We must see through his lies and distortions and recognize that his claims hold no weight. It’s time to move beyond Trump and focus on the real issues that our society faces. Only by doing so can we break free from the clutches of a manipulative and deluded individual.
