Trump Blames Democrats for US Stock Market Plunge

albayan.ae (Arabic) —

President Donald Trump blamed Thursday's sharp stock market decline on the Democratic Party's victory in this week's midterm elections, writing on Truth Social that the market "crashed" because Democrats "won big on Tuesday." Analysts attributed the selloff to concerns that Democrats threaten investment in artificial intelligence data centers, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq index experiencing its worst session since April 2025. Data centers have faced widespread opposition from American voters across party lines. Many midterm election winners have pledged to curb these projects, reflecting broader bipartisan resistance that contributed to the market's negative reaction.
