President Donald Trump briefly emerged on Tuesday to tout the Dow Jones Industrial Average breaking 30,000 for the first time ever, and then vanished after a minute without taking questions from baffled reporters.
The president’s 62-second appearance, perhaps his shortest-ever remarks from the lectern of the White House briefing room, came less than a day after his administration took a major step toward the transition to Joe Biden’s presidency.
But Trump, three weeks after Election Day, still has not conceded the race to Biden. Trump made no mention of his ongoing struggle to overturn the results of the election during his remarks.
