Trump blames Democratic midterm wins for a stock market sell-off
President Trump posted on Truth Social that the stock market "crashed" because Democrats won sweeping midterm elections, telling voters they "only have yourselves to blame." Markets surged Wednesday after the Democratic victories, then fell sharply Thursday, with the Nasdaq composite dropping over 5% amid sell-offs in AI-related stocks tied to fears over data center moratoriums. A Rabobank strategist separately warned that Trump's weakened domestic position heightens geopolitical uncertainty.
