NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an all-time high on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, which reflected new optimism that the economy is slowing just enough to bring down inflation “without triggering a recession,” reported The Washington Post.

Meanwhile, MSNBC hosts reported on the same but drew comparisons between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, where they focused on the time Trump said in 2020 that “markets will crash under Biden.”

Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Willie Geist elaborate a little more on the claim made by Trump on MSNBC's ‘Morning Joe’.

Joe Scarborough mocks Donald Trump on ‘Morning Joe’

‘Morning Joe’ first played a clip of Donald Trump from the presidential debate in 2020 where he said, “If he’s elected, the stock market will crash,” as Trump pointed at Joe Biden,

The second clip then showcased the moment The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit its all-time high.

After these clips played, Mika Brzezinski let out a little chuckle and Joe Scarborough said, “I've got to say, Willie, it's amazing that he said that, the stock market will crash. All-time record high yesterday. Donald Trump, at the same time, is saying Joe Biden has gotten us into a depression.”



 

He continued, “The numbers are really strong across most of the sectors. You've got, actually, economists who had been predicting a recession saying that's not going to happen. We're going to have a smooth landing. We're going to also, most likely, have three interest rate cuts next year.”

Scarborough then compared Biden to Ronald Reagan and said, “This reminds me a lot of 1983, Ronald Reagan strapped with a very bad economy in 1983. His approval rating got as low as 35%. He averaged 41% approval ratings on Gallup throughout 1983.”

“That's about where Joe Biden is right now. You have, again, this economy zooming up, and it's going to follow. Voters are going to again start feeling this more and telling pollsters this more,” said the ‘Morning Joe’ host.

Internet reacts to ‘Morning Joe’s report on Trump’s claims against Biden

After the ‘Morning Joe’ hosts pulled up the comparison between what Donald Trump said in 2020 versus The Dow Jones Industrial Average hitting an all-time high under Joe Biden recently, the internet was quick to weigh in and slammed the former president.

One social media user said, “If you're still weighing up the pros and cons of Biden and Trump just remember, Joe is the pro and Don is the con,” while another wrote, “The only thing that's crashing.  Is Donald Trump's legal defense.”

“The amount of times Trump lies is beyond measure,” wrote one user, while another said, “Trump is full of empty talks while Biden is less talk but more work.”

People continued to weigh in on the matter as one user commented, “As the economy continues to improve, Trump will appear less and less appealing, and all avenues to victory will close off for the G0P.”

Another wrote, “Trump has said many things about Biden, about what will happen if Biden gets in. Well, that's not happened. Economy getting stronger.”
