in World News Trump Shares Video Suggesting He’s Crashing Stock Market On Purpose
President Donald Trump shared a TikTok video on his Truth Social account that asserted that he is crashing the stock market intentionally.
“Trump is crashing the stock market by 20% this month, but he’s doing it on purpose. This is why Warren Buffett just said Trump is making the best economic moves he’s seen in over 50 years,” the narrator of the video said.
“Here’s the secret game he’s playing, and it could make you rich. So why is he doing this? To push cash into Treasuries, which forces the Fed to slash interest rates in May, and those lower rates give the Fed the ability to refinance trillions of debt very inexpensively. It also weakens the dollar and drops mortgage rates,” he said.
“It’s a wild chess move, but it is working. You’re probably wondering: What about his tariffs?” the narrator continued.
“It’s a genius play. It actually forces companies to build here to dodge them. It also forces farmers to sell more of their products here in the U.S. to bring grocery prices way down- we’ve already seen this with eggs. Now, remember, 94% of all stocks are owned by 8% of Americans. So Trump is taking from the rich, short term, and handing it to the middle class via lower prices,” he said.

Trump announced on Friday morning that Vietnamese leader To Lam is willing to eliminate tariffs to avoid punishing new U.S. duties imposed on the Southeast Asian nation’s imports.
“Just had a very productive call with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, who told me that Vietnam wants to cut their Tariffs down to ZERO if they are able to make an agreement with the U.S. I thanked him on behalf of our Country, and said I look forward to a meeting in the near future,” Trump wrote.
