Trump Defends Iran Policy, Cites Record Stock Market and Falling Oil Prices
President Donald Trump defended his administration's approach to Iran, pointing to a record-high stock market and declining oil prices as evidence of success.
In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump pushed back against critics who claim he has not been tough enough on Iran. He highlighted that the stock market has hit a record high while oil prices are tumbling, framing these developments as proof that his policies are working.
Trump dismissed his detractors as "jealous, bad people, or stupid" and reiterated his "Make America Great Again" slogan. The remarks come amid ongoing debate over US strategy toward Iran and its impact on global markets.
The president's comments reference two key macro indicators: a record-breaking equity market and falling crude prices. No specific numbers or timeframes were provided in the original post.
