Trump says stock markets will crash if he loses election

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the U.S. stock market will crash if he loses the election this year.

During a trip to India, Trump told business leaders stocks will jump higher if he is re-elected, but "if I don’t win you’re going to see a crash like you’ve never seen before."

He said his administration planned to announce tax cuts for the middle class in the not too distant future.

Trump also said that Monday's steep fall in share prices was bad because of fears of the coronavirus, but the United States was in good shape in terms of tackling the problem.

He said Chinese President Xi Jinping was working hard on the issue. "And I think it is going to be under control ... I think it is going to work out fine. We hope so," trump said.

Somebody give him a high pressure air pump so he can finish inflating that balloon.
Trump has done nothing to increase the GDP growth, has done nothing to increase the velocity of money, has done nothing to reduce the deficit, and has done nothing to unify the country
Lol- Ignorance is something this country is full of, and I confirmed it the moment Millions voted for Trump!!
sooo, you lost. Was hoever you voted for was probably a crooked, Jabba-the-Hut type, right?
my vote was merely simbolic, I voted for Ron Paul who wasnt even in the ballot- I would puke everyday if Hillary was our president. I will give Trump(who I hate) one thing, he is not a war president, and he’s not going that route to get re-elected
A fool will soon part with his money. Bye Bye Trump...
Do you have any money or in your folks basement?
Over 1000 shares of GILD for one. Rest is mutual funds and related.
repubs are the best at fear-mongering
you should have bought silver. I mean the horse -
Lol. Trump is sooooo full of himself, The chosen one. He really believes everything stops when he is gone. All the hard working American men and women will stop doing what they do, because the supreme leader is no more. So sad.
Noe, ill-equipped intelligence level
Where'd? Charlottes web?
Another cellar dwellar?
Per Bernie, Billionaires are sinners. I see Bernie's point. he wants majority of the Americans to be on welfare.
The irony is that under President Trump valuations are much higher because higher growth rates are expected and lower taxes are expected. And fair trade policies are expected. Hope and change are expected. That's the "New Deal" we should leave for posterity.
No argument from reasonable person.
He knows he is going to lose so now playing scare tactics.
you are wrong and afraid of Trump. Thus promoting negative propaganda.
I'd pick up more shares and feel a ***of a lot better than being the laughing stock of the world
Toil best- that chance of thou hope Trump...
Sure as *******would. Mini Mike or Sanders isn't going to cut it.
I'm don't what's worst. A man so self absorbed or men who see in him the begin and/or the end of everything. What year is this, 212 AD??
Did you ever read anything? Try Real Clear Politics and Factcheck.
I dont think I'm contesting anything other than perceptions, so there's no facts needed here.
Night of the election around 8pm I saw the market futures going down. About 300 points... By 10 they ste down about 700 points. This was when I was confident Trump would win !
BTW, that was when the DOW was at approx. 17,300
with Bernie negative futures will become a permanent reality
Suman, there wouldn't BE a future except for him and his ilk -
He's right it would crash if a Socialist/Democrat got in there.
Oh i get it. The Trumpovirus comes out of White House quarantine and scares the markets!
A buying Oppty! Hoorah!
I mean it may crash... To its fair valuations. His policies have no longterm real growth...
Batsheet crazy
If by fair valuations you mean the new normal of Obama's economy where we redistribute America's wealth via unfair trade deals.
nice points rob
Another promise we know he wont keep!
sosh -
fascists alway liked money above all
Thou better stick with the liberals then.You anteefaa lover?
Not as much as communist leaders like, they like money so much that they don't care if people starve to death, and very happy they bring misery to their people, adorning everything with lies while they fill their pockets with money and gold.
correct!
I dont mind losing money to see that happen! He needs to go!!!
I don't mind if people like you cease existing.
5 bucks won't cost thou much as a gamble then -
I was surprised to see wall street favors trump with over 70% and Biden around 45-50% but Barron said they expect huge hits if warren or Sanders come in
Lmao what a self absorved pansie.
Maybe, but he is correct. Are you working? Do you have anything saved? Heed the warning.
Surely . The only worried about China.
Who wants the government running our lives? Only socialist + communist regimes and dictatorships
Trump is totally correct. CRASH! You think yesterdays drop was big, then if Trump loses - its a super massive loss
What is the matter? Stay in sold position. Elementary my dear.
So, are we letting the wolf guard the sheep ?
