President Donald Trump said Wednesday that his income has surged since he became president because of improved conditions in financial markets.

“You know why I’m profiting, because the stock market’s going up,” Trump told reporters as he prepared to board Air Force One, adding that Americans’ investments in their 401(k) retirement savings plans have increased in his second term. “Everybody’s profiting. … Thank you, President Trump.”
