United States President Donald Trump has claimed that the country's stock market lost $3 trillion in value following the recently concluded midterm elections.
He made the disclosure in a recent interview that has gone viral on X.
Recall that Trump's Republican Party lost the midterm elections to the Democrats, who secured majority seats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Reacting to the election results, Trump suggested that investors were unhappy with the outcome of the polls, arguing that their disapproval contributed to the stock market's $3 trillion loss in value.
He, however, assured Americans that there was no cause for concern, claiming that the market had since recovered.
"Has anyone noticed that immediately after the Election the Stock Market lost $3 trillion in value? In other words, investors throughout the world hated seeing what took place on election day," he stated.
DAILY POST reports that Trump's hardline immigration policies, tariff war and rising gasoline prices driven by the Iran war contributed to the Republican Party's defeat in the midterm elections.
Trump also acknowledged that Americans do not want to pay more for gasoline, describing rising fuel prices as one of the factors that contributed to the Republicans' defeat in the midterm elections.
