Roberts’ tweet was interpreted by many on social media as a dig at the president and seen as being in stark contrast to Fox’s primetime hosts who routinely stump for Trump on their widely watched shows.
Trump has, of course, frequently used the stock market as a marker for his presidency, only last month tweeting “you are sooo lucky to have me as you President ” when the markets hit a high. Stock Markets hit another ALL TIME & HISTORIC HIGH yesterday! You are sooo lucky to have me as your President . Spend your money well!"I don’t watch the stock market. I watch jobs." - President Trump, Dec. 3, 2019
