TRUMP predicts dire consequences if he doesn’t win in 2020: “You have no choice but to vote for me because your 401ks — down the tubes. Everything’s gonna be down the tubes. So whether you love me or hate me, you’ve gotta vote for me.” pic.twitter.com/oCcLueQdUe

For Americans worried about their investments, U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a message at a rally in New Hampshire on Thursday: “love me or hate me, you’ve got to vote for me.”
That’s a common refrain from a president who often pointed to Americans’ retirement savings plans as a metric for his success in the Oval Office.
Trump was speaking at a rally at SNHU Arena in Manchester, N.H. when he started talking about stocks.
“The markets have gone through the roof since Nov. 9,” (the day after Trump won the election) he told the crowd.
“I won the election, the markets went up thousands of points, things started happening, you started doing things that you would have never, even though I didn’t get sworn in until Jan. 20.”
Trump went on to say that if he hadn’t won the election, then “these markets would have crashed, and that’ll happen even more so in 2020,” he said.
“See, the bottom line is, I know you like me, and this room is a lovefest, I know this, but you have no choice but to vote for me because your 401(k)s, down the tubes, everything’s going to be down the tubes.”
There’s plenty of debate as to how much influence the president himself has on the markets.
