Trump Claims He Predicted Market Drop on Strong Jobs Data, Criticizes Inflation Views

Donald Trump stated that he anticipated the stock market would fall following the release of strong employment figures, asserting that robust economic growth does not fuel price increases. Speaking moments before markets reacted, Trump remarked, "I said, watch, the stock market will go down because we have good numbers."
Reiterating previous comments on economic expansion, Trump dismissed concerns over rising prices tied to growth, declaring that "growth does not cause inflation. Stupidity causes inflation."
