President Donald Trump On Sunday, he said he predicted the Dow Jones Industrial Average would hit 100,000 by the time he leaves the White House in January 2029.

“A record stock market and national security thanks to our high tariffs. I predict 100,000 on the DOW by the end of my term,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Remember, Trump was right about everything! I hope the United States Supreme Court is watching,” he added.
The president’s Supreme Court comment comes as a high-profile case over the legality of his tariff authority is expected to be decided. The Supreme Court recently heard arguments on whether the sweeping tariff powers used by Trump were constitutional.
THE tariff charges have been largely absorbed by U.S. consumers and businesses rather than foreign exporters, economists say. A study released last month by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy found that about 96 percent of tariff costs were borne by Americans.

Trump had issued an identical message Friday evening, as well as a separate message that also took credit for the Dow’s close.
“The ‘experts’ said if I had hit 50,000 on the Dow by the end of my term I would have done a great job, but I hit 50,000 today, three years ahead of schedule. Don’t forget that for the midterm elections, because the Democrats are going to crush the economy!” he wrote on Friday.
