Summary
Donald Trump said Wednesday that his income has surged since returning to the presidency, tying the increase directly to gains in financial markets.
Speaking before boarding Air Force One, Trump said, “the stock market’s going up,” and argued that the same rally has lifted Americans’ 401(k) retirement savings.
His remarks framed his personal gains and household investment gains as part of the same market upswing, ending with: “Everybody’s profiting ... Thank you, President Trump.”
