Late-night host Stephen Colbert jabbed President Trump Donald John TrumpHR McMaster says president's policy to withdraw troops from Afghanistan is 'unwise' Cast of 'Parks and Rec' reunite for virtual town hall to address Wisconsin voters Biden says Trump should step down over coronavirus response MORE on Monday after the stock market saw its largest single-day point loss.

The CBS host took aim at Trump's repeated claim that, under his administration, Americans would "win so much" that they would become tired of the success, adding that the stock market appeared to be "exhausted."

"Remember when Donald Trump told us we'd be tired of winning? Well, evidently the stock market is exhausted," the comedian quipped on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

"The stock market is just like the rest of us: It spent January working on improving itself, then in February said, 'F--k it,'" he added.

Colbert's jokes came after the Dow Jones industrial average tumbled 1,175 points on Monday, marking its biggest daily point loss in its history — breaking the previous record set on Sept. 29, 2008, when the index dropped 777 points.

The plunge was driven primarily by concerns about inflation, as well as the possibility of rising interest rates.

But it still provided fodder for comedians and Trump critics. The president has frequently taken credit for record gains in the stock market, boasting that his administration has boosted market confidence.

In touting stock markets gains, Trump has ventured into territory typically avoided by presidents, who have stayed away from taking credit for gains, because losses could end up being politically perilous.

Analysts have warned of a potential bubble in the stock market, meaning that Monday's drop could signal the beginning of a larger market correction.
