Summary

Fox News openly blamed Donald Trump for Monday’s stock market crash, with the Dow dropping 890 points and the S&P 500 falling 2.7%.

The Dow is now 1,500 points below where it was when Trump took office. Analysts cite his chaotic messaging and steep tariffs on key trading partners as driving investor uncertainty.

Trump refused to predict a recession, calling it a “transition,” while his officials gave conflicting reassurances.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned of a “detox period,” further fueling market fears.

    They’re crashing everything on purpose, and at multiple people direction. The wealthy a) make money on the shorts etc and b) will hoover up whats left after everyone not in the 1% has nothing left.

    THATS when they’ll ditch DT via the 25th, Vance will take over as hes less of a loose cannon and more controllable. He’ll also be able to run for president twice more if they use the 25th on DT after 2 years.
