US President Donald Trump on Saturday shared a clip praising his move on tariffs and intent behind the stock market crash.
In the clip, it was claimed that Trump has been playing a “secret game” to make Americans rich.
“Trump is crashing the stock market by 20% this month, but he is doing it on purpose. And this way, Warren Buffet just said Trump is making the best economic moves he has seen in 50 years,” said a parody account, AmericanPapaBear on X.
The video further claims: “Now’s here the secret game he is playing and it could make you rich. So why is he doing this? To push cash into treasuries, which forces the Feds to slash interest rates in May, and those lower rates give the Fed the ability to refinance trillions of debt very inexpensively. It also weakens the dollar and drops morgage rates. Now, it’s a wild chess move, but it’s working.”
On his retaliatory tariffs, which has shook the global market, the video claims it to be “genius play”,
“It actually forces companies to build here to dodge them. It also forces farmers to sell more of their products here in the US to bring grocery prices way down. We’ve already seen this with eggs,” the clip said.
It further added: “94% of all stocks are owned by only 8% of Americans. So Trump, he’s taking from the rich short term and handing it to the middle class to lower prices”.
The recent stock market crash has sent shockwaves through global financial markets, largely triggered by renewed tariff threats from President Donald Trump’s administration. As part of his aggressive trade policy, Trump imposed steep tariffs on key imports, reigniting fears of a full-blown trade war. These measures, aimed at pressuring foreign governments, particularly China, have rattled investor confidence, leading to sharp declines in major indices.
Businesses dependent on international supply chains are facing rising costs, while consumers may soon feel the pinch through increased prices on everyday goods. Economists warn that prolonged tariff battles could slow economic growth, disrupt global trade, and further destabilize an already fragile market environment.
