As Fox Business hosts continue to defend Donald Trump and his current handling of the economy, “Late Night” host Seth Meyers suspects that the “business” part of the name doesn’t actually refer to economic matters.
As part of his “A Closer Look” on Monday night, the NBC host pointed out that the stock market has been steadily falling for days now, leading to increased concerns of a recession, which Trump won’t rule out. But this week, the president told Fox host Maria Bartiromo that “you can’t really watch the stock market” as a measure of success.
The irony was thick, considering Trump regularly bragged about the stock market during his first term, and took credit for any stock market success during Biden’s tenure as well.
