Trump Blames Voters for Stock Market Crash After Midterm Losses

timesnownews.com —

President Donald Trump blamed American voters for Thursday's stock market crash, saying they had "yourselves to blame" after Democrats won Tuesday's midterms. The Nasdaq fell over 5% amid investor concerns about AI restrictions. Trump posted on Truth Social that the market dropped because of Democratic victories, claiming voters' 401(k)s suffered as a result. The selloff targeted AI stocks after Democratic candidates who campaigned on limiting the technology won, though markets rallied Wednesday before Thursday's correction. Stock futures slipped late Thursday and Asian markets were mostly lower, suggesting further volatility Friday. Trump's remarks come as Republicans face historic midterm losses, with Trump asserting he wasn't on the ballot and promising the country would be "bigger and stronger."
