Mr. Trump’s appearance on the podium was only about a minute, according to The Hill.
Vice President Mike Pence is behind Mr. Trump. According to the schedule, Mr. Trump did not have any public events until 14:00 – the time when he performed the turkey amnesty during Thanksgiving.
“I just want to congratulate everyone,” said President Trump.
“The Dow Jones industrial average of the stock market just hit 30,000, the highest level in history. We have never crossed 30,000 points and it happened despite a pandemic and many other things”, Mr. Trump said.
“Never broken, that number. It’s a ‘divine’ number, 30,000,” added the president.
“I just want to congratulate all the government employees who have worked so hard. Most importantly I want to congratulate the people of our country,” President Trump said.
After that, Mr. Trump left without answering questions or mentioning officially starting the transition to the Biden administration.
President Trump praised the stock markets flourished during his presidency. He took credit for the peak market rallies and dismissed the slumps.
The market on Wall Street is in great optimism, when the transfer of power to Mr. Joe Biden has officially begun, along with the positive news about the Covid-19 vaccine development process.
