President shares more than 100 Truth Social posts as stock markets react shakily to his refusal to rule out recession

Summary

Donald Trump posted over 100 Truth Social messages on Monday while global markets tumbled amid recession fears triggered by his economic policies.

Instead of addressing market concerns after his refusal to rule out a recession, Trump shared self-promoting links, attacked Canada as a “Tariff abuser,” praised Elon Musk, and posted Apprentice ads.

Markets closed significantly down, with the S&P dropping 2.7%, Dow Jones 2%, Nasdaq 4%, and Tesla shares experiencing their worst day since 2020.

White House officials anonymously tried to calm economic worries, claiming a “divergence between animal spirits of the stock market” and actual business conditions.
