Trump touts 91st market record in under two years, says 401(k)s are soaring

President Trump says the US stock market has notched a record high for the 91st time in less than two years, posting the tally to his own scorecard on Wednesday. He paired the number with a claim that Americans' 401(k) retirement accounts are soaring, framing the run in the market as a direct win for ordinary savers.

The 91st-record count covers a stretch of roughly two years of trading, according to the president's statement. It is his framing of the milestone, not an independent tally, and the post did not name which index set the high.

Trump leaned on the 401(k) angle to make the case personal. Millions of US workers hold retirement savings tied to the stock market, which means index moves show up in account balances, not just on trading screens. When equities climb, those balances tend to climb with them.

Markets have been a recurring talking point for the president, who has repeatedly pointed to equity gains as evidence of economic health during his time in office. The 91st record, as he tells it, is the latest entry in that running list.

What happens next depends on whether the streak extends and whether retirement balances keep pace with the headline number. Trump's post offered no timeline for the next record, and no detail on which measure of the market he was citing.
