Trump wants a stock market crash in 2024

During a recent interview, Former President Donald Trump expressed his wish for a stock market crash in 2024. "We have an economy that's so fragile," #Trump said, "And when there's a crash, I hope it's gonna be in the next 12 months." Stephanie Ruhle breaks down the absurdity of the current Republican frontrunning hoping for an economic disaster just to score political points and the even crazier possibility of the strategy working on a large portion of the American public.

Everyone is screaming market crash and it's getting me worried. How can I protect my investment portfolio of around 800K. I don't want to get burnt out.

[FrankM-wk]

There's fumes coming from him. But it has nothing to do with stocks and more with diapers and girdle.

Trump is The World's Biggest Crybaby 😢

[NicholasBall]

The stock market is a complex system that is influenced by a variety of factors, including economic indicators, political events, and global trends. The relationship between policies and the stock market can be complex and multifaceted, and it can take time for the full effects of policies to be reflected in market trends. Therefore, it is possible that policies implemented in the past may have a "lagged effect" on the stock market, as their full impact may not be felt until later on

[marioarias]

The most selfish man alive, Trump is disgusting how anyone would consider voting for him in 2024 is beyond comprehension.

[robertwright]

Now, what Trump has just said is total bull💩💩💩. Trump is total bull 💩💩💩. Trump is full of fumes.

[HarryBishopm]

The campaign shenanigans from both the red party and blue party is exactly what is stirring up this market panic. I have a little over 250k i wanted to put in the markets but I don’t know what direction to head now.

[cozy_king]
