Jimmy Fallon broke down the fallout Monday after President Donald Trumpdidn’t rule out a recession on Fox News the day before. (Watch the video below.)
Spooked by Trump’s remarks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 1,000 points at one point amid uncertainty prompted by the president’s ongoing trade wars, the “Tonight Show” host noted.
“It’s not great when the summary of your first two months in office is ‘stocks down, measles up,’” Fallon cracked.
Hundreds of measles cases have popped up in several states ― an eye-opening number given that measles was considered eliminated domestically in 2000, one health expert said. Potentially complicating matters is that the Department of Health and Human Services is now run by vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
On the economic front, Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo asked Trump on Sunday if he expected a recession, to which he said: “I hate to predict things like that.”
