Trump Says Markets Are Down Over Bernie Worries

February 25, 2020 at 8:13 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

President Trump said Democratic presidential front runner Bernie Sanders is advocating “totally unaffordable” policies that are “not going to work” during a meeting with business leaders at the U.S. embassy in New Delhi, Bloomberg reports.

Said Trump: “When we win re-election – I think we will – when we win, I think the market’s going to go up, it’s going to be like a rocket ship, like last time, but even more so. I think the fact that the Democrats are so radical, so out of control, they honestly don’t know what they’re doing.”

He went on to blame the election season for holding down the value of the stock market, saying that investors are worried Sanders had “a real chance” of winning the presidency.
