On Thursday, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to once again boast about the economy.

However the Wharton School of Business graduate appeared unfamiliar with one of the most common retirement planning products: the 401K.


Trump tweeted:

"STOCK MARKET AT ALL-TIME HIGH! HOW ARE YOUR 409K'S DOING? 70%, 80%, 90% up? Only 50% up! What are you doing wrong?"

The tweet sounded like someone shilling investment advice. But if your financial planner mentioned your 409K, you would probably take your money elsewhere.

People quickly picked up on the President's latest fumble.












But that's not all Trump got wrong.

Even after deleting and retweeting a corrected version, there were issues.






A soaring stock market doesn't translate to increased wages or wealth for most people.

Just like great job numbers mean little when people have two to three jobs but still struggle to pay bills due to poverty wages.

Woman Sparks Debate After Accusing Frontier Airlines Of Kicking Her Off Flight For Being Deaf

Let this Frontier Airlines saga be a reminder to all of us that not all disabilities and needs are visible, so when a person requests accommodations, it's better to believe them.

TikToker @legallyswiftie13 posted in 2024 that, though she was in her early twenties, she discovered that she would be rapidly losing her hearing, which was discovered at a routine medical check-up. Though she could still speak and hear, it would become increasingly difficult for her to hear, especially when there were competing noises in the area.

Ben Sasse represented Nebraska in the United States Senate from 2015 to 2023. As a Midwestern moderate, the sometimes controversial Sasse was often critical of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on social media and on the Senate floor.

At one point, the Nebraska GOP censured him because of his criticism of Trump. But Sasse, like Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins, would still vote with the majority of his party when his vote was needed to back Trump's agenda.
