Trump often takes credit for the stock market's performance, in addition to job numbers.

"Stock Market could hit all-time high (again) 22,000 today," Trump said Aug. 1 on Twitter. "Was 18,000 only 6 months ago on Election Day. Mainstream media seldom mentions!"

Just last month, Trump appeared to suggest that the stock market gains would lead to a reduction in national debt, adding that if tax cuts are passed, the economy and job market would "grow by leaps and bounds."
