Trump Claims Stock Market Success Tied to His Poll Lead, Warns It Would Plummet if He Loses 2024 Race
- Trump said the stock market is only doing well because he is leading Biden in polls and thinks it would crash if he loses in 2024
- He made the claim at a Fox News town hall event in Iowa that aired opposite the CNN Republican debate
- Trump said he doesn't hope for a crash but the economy is "horrible except the stock market's going up"

- A report notes the S&P 500 rose nearly 17 percentage points more under Trump than Biden in their first 3 years
