#45 "bemoans record stock market as just making 'rich people richer'"
"(Reuters) -Donald Trump, who predicted three years ago that if
Democratic President Joe Biden won the White House in 2020 markets would crash, said on Sunday that stock markets hitting record highs were just making "rich people richer."
Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, often took
credit for a rising stock market when he was president between 2017 and
2021. He was mocked by Biden last week for wrongly predicting a crash
when they campaigned against each other in 2020.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a record high last week, topping
37,000 and surpassing the previous record set in 2022. In a 2020 debate
with Biden, Trump said that if Biden won the election, "the stock market
will crash.""
"Despite decreasing inflation in recent months, an increase in wages and
low unemployment, Trump added: "We are a nation whose economy is
collapsing into a cesspool.""

If they weren't such complete morons I'd feel sorry for the retrumplicans. They're suffering from a shortage of suffering.
