Weeks before MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle was admonishing Trump for taking credit for stock market gains, she was giving the President credit for stock market gains. On the December 1 Today show, co-host Hoda Kotb asked Ruhle: “The Dow has been up 6,000 points, I think, since the Trump took office.

That’s not a Trump bump, it’s a Trump mountain."
