President Donald Trump has spent the majority of his presidency bragging about the stock market under his leadership. But Monday saw the largest stock market drop in the history of the United States.

“The market will take care of itself,” Trump promised, saying that it will be “strong” again after the virus is taken care of. But earlier in the press conference he said that they’re anticipating anywhere from July to August before they can slow the infection rate.
