Fifth GOP presidential primary debate: on Budget & Economy


Donald Trump: I don't want to be Herbert Hoover, and I won't be

We have a situation which I believe the stock market goes up because I'm leading. I think if I wasn't leading, the stock market would be 25% lower. And I think frankly, if I didn't win, I think the stock market would crash, I believe. And I say that and I do not want to be Herbert Hoover. Do you know who Herbert Hoover was? 1929 he was the president and that was not a good time to be. I don't want to be Herbert Hoover. And I won't be Herbert Hoover.
