A post shared on Facebook claims Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett, purportedly said, “President Trump [is] making [the] best financial decisions in 50 years.”
Verdict: False
An advanced search of Buffett’s verified X account @WarrenBuffett does not generate the purported remark, and there is no other evidence suggesting Buffett made the purported remark.
Fact Check:
Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has increased its stakes in five Japanese trading houses, according to Fortune, which cited a recent regulatory disclosure. The investment follows a “major selloff” in the U.S. stock market, the outlet reported.
The Facebook post claims Buffett said, “President Trump [is] making [the] best financial decisions in 50 years.”
“‘President Trump [is] making [the] best financial decisions in 50 years.’ Warren Buffett,” the post, which features a photo of Buffett, begins. “The hard decisions the President makes today will benefit us tomorrow. America First,” it continues. The post does not provide a source to support its claim.
