‘Such a sad thing to watch’ Donald Trump points finger at Democrats over massive market losses

What's behind this

President Donald Trump accused Democrats of causing losses in Americans' 401(k) retirement portfolios, saying it was a ‘sad thing to watch’. He linked the decline to a 6.4% drop in the Nasdaq 100, the index’s worst session since March 2020, and to fears of tighter oversight of artificial intelligence and data centres. Trump made the remarks after the Democrats’ sweeping victories in the recent U.S. midterm elections, adding that the party would emerge ‘bigger, stronger than ever before’ despite the market volatility.
