Donald Trump’s political adviser Jason Miller claimed that the surge in the stock market is the result of companies and investors believing the former president will return to the White House.
Miller, a longtime Trump confidant, also claimed during his Fox News interview with anchor Howard Kurtz that the endorsement from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has helped to energize support for Trump.
On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged by 462.30 points to 41,175.08 after Jerome Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve, announced decreases to interest rates.
Miller, like Trump, claims that the market surges when investors think Trump will be president.
KURTZ: Well, on that point, and you have every right to say that she was part of this administration whose record you criticize. And obviously some of it is unpopular. Don’t they also get credit for things that are positive, for example, the record breaking stock market, the Dow breaking 41,000 on Friday?
MILLER: Well, that’s simply because businesses think that President Trump is going to come back in. So they’re energized. A big part of that is that RFK Jr. endorsement that we had on Friday, which is huge. When you look at the numbers state by state, some of the states could be upwards of 13,000 to 20,000 votes. Other states the RFK Jr. endorsement could boost by as much as 40 or even 50,000 votes. When you think about how close the margins are in this campaign that endorsement alone could put President Trump over the top.
