In February 2026, Donald Trump posted online predicting the Dow would hit 100,000 by the end of his term, crediting his tariff strategy for recent record highs. The statement coincided with higher US futures and renewed market attention.
He wrote: “Record Stock Market and National Security, driven by our Great TARIFFS. I am predicting 100,000 on the DOW by the end of my term. REMEMBER, TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING! I hope the United States Supreme Court is watching.”
A tweet from The Kobeissi Letter reported US futures opening higher and noted Bitcoin above $72,000. The post cited S&P 500 futures up about 150 points since that Friday’s low.
Responding to a user prompt linked here, Grok said reaching 100,000 would need roughly 26% annual growth through 2029 from a Dow near 50,000. The AI said the level is possible but not guaranteed, and most experts expect it after 2030 (Ed. note: 26% annual growth is unusually high for a broad index).
The claim produced mixed reactions among traders and commentators. Markets remained focused on futures and policy signals.
