Trump blames Democrats for stock market decline
U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the sharp decline in American stock markets following the November 3, 2026, midterm elections.
In a social media post, Trump claimed that markets had crashed following the Democrats' electoral success and described the sell-off as one of the worst days in stock market history. He placed responsibility for the market losses on Democrats rather than Republicans.
Trump stated that his administration had worked hard to push U.S. stock markets to unprecedented levels and argued that the recent decline had also reduced the value of Americans' retirement accounts. Describing the developments as unfortunate, Trump expressed confidence that the U.S. economy and financial markets would regain strength in the near future. His remarks came amid ongoing debate over the impact of the election results on financial markets.
