The image is fake.

Fact Check:

The DOW Jones slid down 1.6% following Trump’s tariffs announcement, wiping out his post-election stock market gains, according to The Associated Press.

Social media users are claiming that Trump tweeted that a president should be impeached if the DOW ever dropped by a thousand points.

“If the DOW drops 1,000 points in two days the President should be impeached immediately,” Trump allegedly tweeted.

Shayan Sardarizadeh, a BBC Verify reporter, tweeted that the claim was false.
