Sweet schadenfreude Monday
Fox News cuts away from Trump economic speech to cover historic stock market drop
During his State of the Union speech last Tuesday night, President Trump bragged about how under his stewardship, the stock market “smashed one record after another, gaining $8 trillion in value.” Those comments were just the most recent of many examples of the president trying to take credit for a strong stock market.
Six days later, Fox News interrupted a live broadcast of a speech Trump delivered in Ohio on Monday to tout the tax cut bill to instead cover a historic drop in the Dow Jones industrial average.
