Former President Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, released a number of social media posts on Monday, amid the crashing stock market and a looming war in the Middle East.
“Stocks fell sharply on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting its worst day in nearly two years, as worries over the health of the U.S. economy sparked a global market sell-off,” CNBC reported.
But first, podcaster Benny Johnson posted a video highlighting just how the United States got into this mess to start with: incompetent leaders who think printing more money is the answer to everything.
In sharing the video, Johnson explained, “In case you were wondering how we got the Kamala Crash: This is the Biden-Harris Administration’s handpicked Economic Advisors Chair, Jared Bernstein, struggling to understand basic economics and the consequences of uncontrolled money printing.”

Trump unleashed on the Biden-Harris administration – specifically, Kamala Harris, since she is now running against him.
“STOCK MARKETS ARE CRASHING, JOBS NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE, WE ARE HEADING TO WORLD WAR lll, AND WE HAVE TWO OF THE MOST INCOMPETENT “LEADERS” IN HISTORY. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!” Trump wrote Monday morning.
Trump then quoted billionaire businessman Howard Lutnick:
“Japan down 12%, India down 6%. Germany way down also. U.S. really bad. This is a preview of the world markets without Donald J. Trump in the White House. None of this happens if Trump is in. Kamala and the markets don’t go together. She’ll destroy the markets. She’s in power now and look at what is happening. One week of the fake media saying better polls and you get a market crash.” The Legendary Howard Lutnick!
In another scorching post, Trump added, “Of course there is a massive market downturn. Kamala is even worse than Crooked Joe. Markets will NEVER accept the Radical Left Lunatic that DESTROYED San Francisco and California, as a whole. Next move, THE GREAT DEPRESSION OF 2024! You can’t play games with MARKETS. KAMALA CRASH!!!”
“VOTERS HAVE A CHOICE — TRUMP PROSPERITY, OR THE KAMALA CRASH & GREAT DEPRESSION OF 2024, NOT TO MENTION THE PROBABILITY OF WORLD WAR lll IF THESE VERY STUPID PEOPLE REMAIN IN OFFICE. REMEMBER, TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!” another Truth Social post reads.
“KAMALA CRASH!” Trump continued.
“TRUMP CASH vs. KAMALA CRASH!” he added, drawing a profound comparison.
Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, wrote, “This moment could set off a real economic calamity around the globe. It requires steady leadership–the kind President Trump delivered for four years. Kamala Harris is too afraid to answer media questions and cannot lead us in these troubled times. #WheresKamala.”

In a BRUTAL video ad, the MAGA War Room created a montage of Kamala Harris repeatedly cheering, “Bidenomics is working!” In between her comments is multiple news outlets reporting on the market free-falling on Monday.

And this one didn’t age well…. In May, the then Biden-Harris campaign posted an old video of Trump and wrote, “Four years ago today, Trump claimed the stock market would “crash” if Joe Biden was elected. (The stock market has reached the highest levels ever recorded in history under President Biden).”
Actually, on Monday, Trump’s prediction came true.

“This is how Trump wins. If you vote for him, you’ll have more money in your pocket. If Harris wins, you’re going to be poorer. Period!” declared Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
