Trump said today: "The stock market has reached a new all-time high, national security is ensured, and all of this is due to our great tariff policy. I predict that before the end of my term, the Dow Jones Index will break 100,000 points. Remember, everything Trump says is correct! I hope the US Supreme Court is watching all this."
Comment: This statement by Trump is still in his usual style: attributing all the benefits to himself, blaming all the controversies on opponents, using extreme exaggerated numbers to create topics, reinforcing the cult of personality with "always correct," while simultaneously pressuring the Supreme Court from afar, bundling financial markets, trade policies, and judicial struggles into personal political propaganda. He unilaterally attributes the new high in the US stock market to the tariff policy, deliberately ignoring core factors such as interest rates and corporate profits, and the prediction of the DJIA reaching 100,000 points is an unrealistic exaggeration. In short, the so-called tariff achievements in the stock market and the DJIA reaching 100,000 points are more like campaign rhetoric than economic judgment. Fundamentally, it is a way to consolidate the base and strengthen the narrative that "only I can lead America," with emotional appeal far exceeding rationality, and more publicity significance than policy reality.
