President Trump: "I just turned on the TV and wanted to see how the stock market performed today. The stock market rose 600 points today, which means - they like you. In fact, the stock market (Dow Jones) has risen to 50702 points. This is the data from about 12 minutes ago. Who knows now, but I think it will only continue to rise. I want you to be here, it will only keep rising. Throughout my entire four-year term, that was a number that everyone thought was unattainable. If you look at those great scholars, they once said, 'It's impossible to reach 50000 points in four years, maybe at some point after that.' But we reached it in the first year. And now, we are truly charging towards it. Think about it, it has reached 50702 points. The S&P index also set a new record today, and they both set new records today. This is really great news. But you will take it to a completely different height, trust me. The current situation is good, but it can still get better, and that's what we expect. ” Background of the event: On the day Kevin Walsh was sworn in as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, the stock market rose 600 points.
