Trump Blames Democrats for Stock Market Crash After Midterm Wins

thehill.com —

President Trump blamed Democrats for Thursday's stock market crash, calling it one of the "Worst Days in History" following their midterm election victories, and told voters "you only have yourselves to blame." The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1,833 points on Thursday after surging 1,104 points on Wednesday, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 also falling sharply. Trump posted on Truth Social that the crash resulted from Democrats' "big Tuesday," while Democrats won control of both the House and Senate. Democrats campaigned on cost-of-living concerns, which polls showed as the top voter issue, with 48 percent citing it as most important. Trump on Friday promoted artificial intelligence as a future economic driver, calling it "Super Intelligence" and urging states to embrace it.
