Former President Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear that the economic ship is sinking faster than the Titanic, and he is not afraid to sound the alarm. On Monday, as stock markets took a nosedive, Trump took to Truth Social to provide the American public with what he considers an urgent choice for the upcoming election: Trump’s brand of prosperity versus the looming disaster of a “KAMALA CRASH.” While he might be venting on social media, his messages encapsulate a broader fear of U.S. leadership under current administration.
In a social media tirade that many would classify as a meltdown, Trump painted a dire picture of the economy, hinting ominously at troubling times ahead. He lamented job numbers and insinuated that the world might be heading toward World War III thanks to the incompetence exhibited by the Democratic leadership. The implication here is simple: when Trump was in charge, the markets thrived, jobs skyrocketed, and the globe appeared a bit less chaotic. A stark contrast indeed to the current situation in which, according to Trump, chaos reigns and cluelessness is the name of the game.
The unfolding economic crisis is underscored by major stock indexes plummeting, highlighting a growing fear that the U.S. might be heading into a significant downturn. Political factors can’t be ignored, especially considering that Vice President Kamala Harris has recently gained traction in the polls. It is almost comical to consider that markets were seemingly buoyed by Trump’s political capital, and now, just a whiff of Democrats gaining ground, and they’re tanking faster than a lead balloon. Not exactly a vote of confidence for the leadership—or lack thereof—currently installed in Washington.
Trump admonished the current state of affairs, claiming that not even the “Radical Left Lunatic” (Kamala) could manage to salvage the markets after the destructive policies she left in her wake in California. The Donald suggested consequences of epic proportions: “THE GREAT DEPRESSION OF 2024” awaits if voters continue to trust those in power now. There’s a certain dark humor in the idea that navigating economic policy seems to evade the current leaders like a ghost at a family reunion, especially when the markets are taking consistent hits.

Clarity in the eyes of the former president comes from the outright disaster he claims that is emerged since his exit from office. Expert opinions are flying around like confetti on New Year’s Day, with voices like Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, lamenting the global market downturn. The crux of the argument remains that the markets align positively with Trump’s leadership and spiral dangerously downward under Biden-Harris. If voters want to skip the depression and stock market chaos, it seems they will need to channel their inner patriot and remind themselves of “Trump was right about everything!” because, according to him, the alternative is, well, just not acceptable.
