Trump: People will ‘lose a lot of money’ if Republicans don’t win in midterms

President Trump warned voters Wednesday that if Republicans lost the midterm elections, “you’re all going to lose a lot of money.”

Trump, speaking at an event at the White House, touted the success of the economy that is “the hottest right now in the world ” but said that success could be reversed if Democrats win in the midterm elections next week.

“They’re waiting for the results of the midterm,” he explained.{mosads}

“And if the midterms for some reason don’t do so well for Republicans, I think you’re all going to lose a lot of money.”

The U.S. economy appears to be heading in the right direction as 2018 ends, with near-record low unemployment levels and strong quarterly growth rates.

But declining global growth, lagging business investment and international trade wars have made a potential slowdown a growing concern among economists.

The president finished his comments by saying that a win for Republicans could improve the economic situation further. 

“If it comes out good I think the market’s going to continue to go through a period like we’ve never seen before,” he said.
