  • -President Trump has been freaking out about

  • the possibility of a recession.

  • For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • ♪♪

  • If there's one thing Trump loves to brag about,

  • it's the stock market.

  • He talks about it constantly, and by talks about it,

  • I, of course, mean he lies about it

  • because he lies about everything.

  • I would say lying for him is as natural as breathing,

  • but he's not great at breathing either.

  • -[ Panting ]

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -In fact, this week the "Washington Post" published

  • an exhaustive study that found that as of August 5th,

  • Trump made over 12,000 false or misleading claims as president.

  • Which means that Trump said something false about

  • once every three hours on average.

  • Once every three hours, that means he has to wake up

  • in the middle of the night just so he can get his lies in.

  • -"Russia's a witch hunt."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [ Applause ]

  • How does he even keep track?

  • He must have like a Fitbit for lies.

  • Like a -- like a Fib-bit

  • "Oh, no. I need to get my 10,000 lies in.

  • I better hold a rally."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Trump's apparently told so many lies that if he never told a lie

  • ever again in his life he would still have average

  • 8.7 untrue claims per day over the span of his first term,

  • even though, under this imaginary scenario,

  • he hasn't said anything untrue in more than a year.

  • First of all, let's just bask in that imaginary scenario

  • where Trump hasn't said anything untrue in more than a year.

  • I mean, imagine what his rallies would be like

  • "Folks, people are coming to the border

  • and they're seeking asylum, which is perfectly legal.

  • And we should welcome them because diversity

  • is our strength.

  • Also, I'm terrible -- I'm terrible at golf.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • In fact, Trump gave -- Trump gave a speech on energy

  • to workers in Pennsylvania on Tuesday,

  • and it was one reporters job

  • to basically sum the whole thing up.

  • It's what's known in politics as the pool report.

  • And here is the actual White House pool report

  • summing up Trump's speech.

  • "In a 60 minute speech, that at times resembled

  • a campaign rally, the President meandered

  • through several topics, meaning have little to do with energy.

  • He talked about trade, immigration, trucks,

  • emoluments, his 2016 victory, union leaders, his poll numbers,

  • the media, steel, China, the amount of money he believes

  • he's losing as president, the Green New Deal,

  • windmills, the WTO screwing us, President Obama's book deal,

  • Hillary Clinton's comments on coal workers,

  • pipelines and New York, Iran, veterans choice and more.

  • Oh, my God.

  • That sounded like a months worth of "Jeopardy" categories.

  • I'll take windmills for $400.

  • The answer, this famous idiot believe they cause cancer.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • Oof.

  • They cause cancer.

  • In fact, one of the lies Trump told at that speech was about

  • the various lawsuits against him, including a lawsuit

  • alleging that he is violating a section

  • of the constitution that specifically prohibits

  • what are known as emoluments or gifts

  • from foreign governments.

  • For example, a Saudi-funded lobbyist paid

  • for 500 rooms at Trump's hotel after the 2016 election.

  • Does Trump's hotel even have 500 rooms?

  • I just assume there was a lobby, and if you went upstairs,

  • it was just fake doors painted on the walls.

  • Now, that seems like a pretty clear violation

  • of the constitution, and yet Trump

  • wasn't concerned about that.

  • He complained instead about how much

  • the lawsuits were supposedly costing him.

  • -This thing is costing me a fortune being president.

  • Somebody said, oh, he might have rented a room

  • to a man from Saudi Arabia for $500.

  • What about the $5 billion that I'll lose.

  • It will probably cost me, including upside, downside,

  • lawyers 'cause everyday they sue me for something.

  • These are the most litigious people.

  • It's probably costing me from 3 to $5 billion.

  • -I don't believe you're losing $3 to $5 billion from lawsuits.

  • I would believe you're losing $3 to $5 billion

  • just from, you now, like being Donald Trump.

  • I mean, you lost $1 billion in ten years,

  • and that was in the '80s and '90s,

  • when everyone was making money.

  • I mean, back then a little kid could open a lemonade stand

  • and make enough money to buy a Bugati.

  • So Trump lies about everything,

  • and the stock market is no exception.

  • But if you compare his record to the previous Presidents,

  • it's not as impressive.

  • In fact, if you look at the change in

  • the Dow Jones industrial average over the same period of time,

  • Clinton saw 41.4 percent increase,

  • Obama saw a 41.7 percent increase,

  • and Trump has seen a 30.1 percent increase.

  • So, Trump's been outdone by Clinton and Obama,

  • the two presidents he hates the most.

  • The only way that could be more embarrassing for Trump

  • is if he did loose $3 to $5 billion

  • and they had to repossess his penthouse

  • and rename it Hillary Tower.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • More importantly --

  • more importantly, the stock market is not the whole economy.

  • In fact, most working people

  • aren't really invested in the stock market.

  • It's mostly just a sign at how the wealthy few are fairing.

  • In fact, one study found nearly 40 percent of the market

  • is owned by the richest one percent of the population

  • while bottom 90 percent of the population

  • owns just 19% of stock market wealth.

  • Basically, for a lot of people the stock market numbers

  • in the bottom of the CNN corner are just something

  • you staring at while waiting for your flight.

  • It's like, "I don't know.

  • I guess green is good and red is bad.

  • I'm gonna go to the Cinnabon."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Trump's economic policy has only benefited

  • the elite few to begin with, and that a recession

  • seems like it might be on the horizon,

  • he's freaking out because for two years he's been able

  • to coast on the economic tide left by Obama while ignoring

  • the growing wealth gap, massive inequality

  • or the shuttering factories in states he promised to rescue.

  • In fact, Trump is so desperate for something to brag about

  • that during that rambling speech in Pennsylvania

  • he touted the Shell plant that was about to open

  • and repeatedly claimed credit for it.

  • -This would have never happened without me and us,

  • this would have never happened.

  • It was the Trump administration that made it possible.

  • No one else.

  • Without us, you would never have been able to do this.

  • -There you go.

  • The Shell plant would never would have happened

  • without Trump. Just one problem.

  • Shell announced its plans to build a complex

  • in 2012 when President Barack Obama was in office.

  • "Oh, it's been three hours.

  • Better check my fib-bit."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • I mean, he's taking credit for a plant

  • that was announced when Obama was in office.

  • What's next?

  • "Do you know I killed Osama bin Laden?

  • I swear it's true. I have --

  • I have a very real photo to prove it."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Trump is freaking out about the possibility

  • of a recession after spending 2 1/2 years

  • catering the wealthy elite.

  • He doesn't care about growing inequality

  • or shuttering factories.

  • We've got a lot of problems, and in many cases...

  • -It was the Trump administration

  • that made it possible.

  • -This has been "A Closer Look."

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

-President Trump has been freaking out about
