'Funny way of showing it': Fox News host checks Trump’s 'hurdle towards depression' claim

Fox News' Neil Cavuto appears to be running out of patience with former President Donald Trump's baseless claims about nearly every issue Americans care about — but mainly about the US stock market.
"You might have heard the former president refer to what's going on right now as a hurdle towards depression," the Your World with Neil Cavuto host said. "Well, if that's the case the market's having a funny way of showing it. At least today, the S&P 500 putting in its best single day performance we've seen in a couple years — the Dow tracking its biggest gain of the year."
MarketWatch published a report Thursday titled: "Stock Market Today: Dow logs best day in 3 weeks as labor-market data calm recession fears.'

It's not the first time this week Cavuto questioned the ex-president's claims about the stock market.
On Monday, the Fox News fact-checked Trump's claim that whenever the market is down — it's the Democrat's fault.
"When they’re up, it’s all because of [Trump], Cavuto said. "When they’re down, it’s all because of the Democrats and how horrific they are. Yet, of our biggest-point falloffs – three of the biggest top 10 occurred during his administration. Now, a lot of those were in the Covid years. I get that. But you know, you either own the markets or you don’t. It does confuse me."
