Jan 2018: Trump takes credit for Dow 25,000, says 'I guess our new number is 30,000'

With the Dow breaking 25,000 for the first time, President Donald Trump is taking credit and hoping for more gains.

"I guess our new number is 30,000," Trump told reporters Thursday. "There were those that said we wouldn't break 25,000 by the end of the eighth year (of my administration), and we're in the 11th month."
