Trump Gleefully Signs Chart of the Stock Market Today for Lou Dobbs … and People are Disgusted
Just a reminder that yesterday the stock market plummeted over 2000 points...
During his Friday show, Lou Dobbs showed off a printed out chart autographed by Donald Trump of Friday’s 1,985-point Dow Jones average rise, just one day after the same financial index dropped a record 2,352 points.
Recapping the day’s major financial market moves, the Fox Business host touted the $2 trillion bounce-back, which managed to make up 84 percent of losses from Thursday’s nosedive, which was the largest single-day drop since 1987’s “Black Monday.” The financial markets firmly remain in bear territory, however, having fallen nearly 22 percent off their recent highs.
“Wall Street stocks skyrocketing,” Dobbs said, as he noted Friday’s late trading-day rally chem as the president announced that he was officially designating the coronavirus pandemic a “national emergency.”
“The president celebrating his signature day today,” Dobbs crowed, as an image of the Dow chart with Trump’s signature on it flashed onto the screen. “The White House sent along to me a signed chart of the skyrocketing Dow, the S & P 500 and NASDAQ. The Dow rose more than 1,000 points from the time he started talking to the time the news conference was over with his decisive announcement to declare the coronavirus pandemic a national emergency. Well received by markets all around the world, I’m sure.”
Twitter was shocked, but not surprised:

Just try and wrap your head around how screwed up a human being Trump is, that he is autographing today’s stock market bounce as a result of finally admitting that the pandemic is not a hoax & letting his staff finally start treating it with the seriousness it requires. https://t.co/iwNgVzbeFM

You’ve got to be kidding me. Did he not learn anything from the last three weeks about the dangers of cheering the market, only to have it crash days later?! Incredibly irresponsible… https://t.co/U4BKqHQKnU
