NBC business analyst Christine Romans smirked and took a dim view of a Donald Trump boast on Friday morning that now was a good time for investors to sink more money in the stock market while it was still experiencing a meltdown for the third day in a row.
Speaking with “Morning Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Jonathan Lemire, she was alerted to a Trump Truth Social post where the president wrote, “TO THE MANY INVESTORS COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES AND INVESTING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY, MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE. THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!”
Asked for her reaction, specifically to Trump’s boast his policies would “never change,” she replied, “Well, that means they think that he’s not going to negotiate, even though yesterday he said maybe he would negotiate.”

“So again, this is all sort of Donald Trump ‘Art of the Deal’ stuff. In terms of always being rich, I mean $2 trillion stock market value was lost yesterday and you’re going to lose another big chunk of it today so value is being lost as we speak here.”
“The question is, the White House, you know the White House is talking about the 10-year note yield is kind of looking at that, not the stock market,” she observed before adding, “They’ve really tried to decouple themselves from the stock market.”
