Dow tops 40,000, Biden trolls Trump in split-screen video Fri, May 17, 2024
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Dow topped 40,000 for the first time on Thursday in an all-time high, giving U.S. President Joe Biden an opening to prove his Republican election rival's 2020 predictions wrong.
"Good one, Donald," Biden said in a post on X hours after the blue-chip index made its gains.
"If Biden wins, you're going to have a stock market collapse the likes of which you've never had," Trump says in the video clip.
The video ends with Fox Business Network's Stuart Varney saying, "I've been doing this a long time. I never expected the Dow to hit 40,000."
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
