## Summary

Donald Trump told Americans concerned about affordability that they “should have had stock”, after citing stock market gains to defend his economic record in a “60 Minutes” interview. The remarks came after Republicans lost control of Congress in midterm elections where the cost of living was a major concern.

Trump said the market had reached a record high, though he also claimed it had fallen nearly 2,000 points and lost $3 trillion after the election. His personal net worth has reportedly risen by about $3 billion since he returned to office, largely linked to his family’s cryptocurrency company, World Liberty Financial. More than 70% of midterm voters disapproved of his handling of inflation, while the top 10% of Americans own nearly 90% of stock market wealth.
