Trump, seen earlier this week, tweeted on Saturday that the economy would crash if he is not re-elected as president in 2020
He appeared to be gearing up for full campaign mode, testing a message that will highlight economic growth and low unemployment under his administration.
‘Despite the Greatest Presidential Harassment of all time by people that are very dishonest and want to destroy our Country, we are doing great in the Polls, even better than in 2016,’ he said in another tweet.
Trump added: ‘will be packed at the Tuesday Announcement Rally in Orlando, Florida.’
Trump has claimed several times this year – and as recently as Friday – that the U.S. stock market would be 5,000 to 10,000 points higher if the Federal Reserve hadn’t raised interest rates four times in 2018.
In January he suggested that impeachment would result in a stock market crash.
