Stock markets pointed to a further fall this week as futures trading got underway Sunday evening, with investors and economists grappling with rising odds of a severe economic downturn caused by President Trump’s significant new tariffs on imports.

Nice reminder of how many have NOT taken basic economics.
Shocking that alienating our allies & implementing tariffs that crush the working class while killing small businesses has negative economic impacts. 🤯🙄
But hey, let’s “own the libs” & be willfully biased & ignorant of objective facts.
Just wanted to pop in here and give you another shoutout for not portraying him as anything other than a fake business con man sociopath on the obvious and inevitable lead up to this terrible time.
👆🏾👇🏾”Los mercados bursátiles apuntaban a una nueva caída esta semana al comenzar la negociación de futuros el domingo por la noche, mientras inversionista
s y economistas lidiaban con el aumento de las probabilidades de una fuerte recesión económica provocada por los nuevos aranceles significativos a las importaciones impuestos por el presidente Trump.”
2025 will go down in history as when the social experiment called the “United States of AMERICA” crashed due to the most self-righteous incompetent leadership ever voted in by the experiment’s participants.
Good!
I only have sympathy for the common people.
No sympathy for the millionaires and billionaires. Watched the news earlier and some billionaire was saying it is not fair as they might have to sell off one of their many mansions, yachts or cars.
Watch: the market will bottom out, Trump (or his puppet masters) will let his confederacy of dunces know it's time to buy up all the cheap stocks; then he'll lift the tariffs and the market will soar and guess who will have all the money?
He’s a 100% unstable man in a job that requires 110% stability. We knew this. We are back to Covid crisis economy in less than 3 months and the destruction of wealth in less than a week. Mike Johnson needs to be ousted tomorrow.
Project 2025 is doing the heavy lifting. Bondi Homan, Hegseth are running the dumb plans Elon is smashing the guard rails. Stephen Miller and Susie Wiles are puppet ing while Donald golf’s and signs his name on EA’s. The road to bankruptcy paved by Oligarchs.
I feel sorry for people who have to sell stocks to survive, especially when their social security checks are cut or are "disappeared" like some foreign exchange student.
Anecdotal example of MAGA stupidity. I was in Vietnam last year. American companies were everywhere and I saw many American products as well. Here’s the thing. A sandwich costs about $2. If the foreign population remains poor, they will NEVER buy our products. Trade deficits=fact of life!
Who could have guessed he would upend our economy?? Oh yeah. That smart Black lady who majored in economics. You know, the one you kept writing stories about what she was wearing and her laugh…
This is on you and other legacy media. Enjoy what you destroyed.
Trade wars are not modern GOP orthodoxy.
But he is doing one openly and aggressively.
No more lectures about markets being free.
This tariff shit show belongs to the GOP.
1% better get together and impeach this traitor for wiping out 4 yrs worth of gains in just 2 months over a pissing contest with the entire world (except Russia, of course).
Tanks for reporting this. However, I humbly suggest you change the picture used. A smile face will be much appropriate rather than the sad face. He spent the whole weekend playing golf, so he should not feel sad.
The market crash is all Trumps fault. No one else. His crazy tariffs are causing this. He needs to resign, the GOP needs to push him out or else they well be losers forever.
I’d like to hear from billionaires and multi-millionaires saying they would accept paying more taxes on wealth and income above certain $$$$ thresholds. And not accept Medicare or Social Security benefits.
When you make a narcissist - who believes he is the smartest man on earth but in fact has a very mediocre intelligence -President, you can expect disaster. Question is: why does one man have the power to disrupt the world economy? Answer: because the GOP representatives don't do their job!
Nero Trump is unable to understand his actions. If this was Biden this unhinged and incompetent the spineless GOP jellyfish party would be calling for impeachment. Add the that the GOP and the Trump team are pilfering the Treasuwy.
He’s running around like a little jackass today claiming 50 countries have made contact to negotiate on tariffs. 🙄 No word if one of those groups that called was the penguins.
Trump is purposefully crashing the stock market so he can bail out Wall St with American tax dollars. Then Wall St takes that staged bail out money and funnels the benjamins to Netanyahu & Israel.

Kudos, folks. Way to not write it as "critics point to Trump's tariffs as the cause"

The NY Times has my permission to use that for its Monday or Tuesday headlines.

Voting on 1 concern at the expense of 10 other HORRIBLE & ADVERTISED as such issues sets them up for the Natural Consequences of their CHOICE!
He does not.
High school history did not prepare me for this level of treachery and cowardice
Now the NY Times wants to make money reporting on the horror they helped unleash.
Intelligent people don't support you.
Patriotic people don't support you.
You are complicit.

Oh and also--fuckkkkkk the NYT.
3.5 million people ... completely hidden today after being mostly hidden yesterday. No top of the fold pic, no headline story.
I recall their warmth towards the Nazis. When the Establishment goes fascist, NYT is right there
