This week, President Donald Trump sent out a tweet, warning citizens of a possible market crash that’s “never been seen before” if he does not get re-elected in the 2020 elections.

However, experts noted that the tweet was politically inclined to take advantage of the current market that’s sitting on near record highs and that corporate profit margins are near their peaks.

The financial system is not a house of cards as it was back in 2007-2008. Corporate America is sitting on $1.69 trillion in cash, according to Moody’s Analytics.

“First of all, if the employment situation remains strong, the odds are pretty good that Trump will get re-elected. So if he doesn’t get re-elected, it’s a good bet that the employment picture will have changed by November 2020 if it turns out that Trump loses. So if the employment picture is strong enough to hold up the market, it will also be strong enough to help Trump avoid losing the election,” Miller Tabak strategist Matt Maley told Yahoo Finance.

As of today, here are the main moves in markets:
