Trump Floods Truth Social as Markets Tumble Amid Recession Fears
So, here’s what’s happening—Donald Trump is at it again, and this time, it’s all unfolding on Truth Social. As global stock markets took a nosedive, Trump decided the best course of action was to unleash a barrage of posts on his platform. Over 100 posts in just one day—talk about a social media storm!
Instead of addressing the growing concerns over a possible US recession, Trump spent his time sharing links that praised his policies, seemingly ignoring the chaos unfolding in the financial world. Starting at 11:44 AM ET, he kicked things off by sharing a Fox News article about British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s defense spending increase. From there, it was a rapid-fire sequence of posts, mainly consisting of articles applauding his administration.

Tesla’s stock had its worst day since 2020, dropping 15 points. Meanwhile, the White House scrambled to explain the situation, with officials speaking anonymously to media outlets to calm growing fears.
Social media was quick to react. Netizens dug up an old Trump post from August 2024, where he had gone off about “incompetent leaders” ruining the economy. Now, with his own policies leading to a market collapse, people mocked his words, calling it a “psychic prediction.” Comments flooded in—some sarcastic, some outright hilarious—pointing out how his statements had aged poorly.
With markets in freefall and recession fears looming, Trump’s response has been, well… let’s just say, more focused on his online presence than economic stability. And as history shows, when Trump goes on a posting spree, the world watches—and reacts.
