Trump said,

We have companies now that are pouring back into our country, even before this–we’ve just set records in so many different ways. We’ve set records with every conceivable–you know, if you look at it, consumer confidence, at a 17-year high. And I think it’s an all-time high, consumer confidence. Business confidence, all-time high. Everything is like at an all-time high, including the big one–it’s called the stock market–at an all-time high.
The president also told a story: “So, I was back stage taking pictures with people far greater than my business people. I love my business people, but these are–they’re called law enforcement people.

He continued, “And one great gentleman came up and he said, sir, ‘I want to thank you.’ I said what did I do for you? He said, ‘my 401(k) is up 40 percent.'”
“And I never thought of it. You know, I tell you, he gave me one of the great campaign lines, it’s called ‘How’s your 401(k) doing?'”
