Trump shares disturbing mail: does he let the stock exchange crash on purpose?

It is simply a bloodbath: since Thursday alone, the US stock market has lost more than six trillion dollars in value. Since Donald Trump announced drastic tariffs against almost every country on earth on his “Liberation Day”, the stock exchange has stood in the United States. The investors fear a recession as a result of the tariffs. And Donald Trump? He goes golfing. And pour oil into the fire.

Since the duties of the tariffs, experts have been wondering what Trump aims to do with it. Trump claims that it is against tariffs, and you only defend yourself against the tariffs of the other countries. The slump in the economy does not seem to disturb him. On the contrary: Trump indicates that he has made it on purpose.

Trump shared a clip on his Truth platform that claims that. “Trump deliberately brings the market to collapse,” says the entry graphic, so there is little scope for interpretations. “Trump plays chess while all other ladies are playing,” the Swiss Post praises the president. The fact that Trump accidentally reposted him is excluded: the post he shared was originally discontinued at the short message service X. Trump must have actively copied the link to Truth.

But what exactly should Trump aim for with the targeted crash? The clip, which is first circulating at Tikkok, explains this as follows: Trump wants to fill the tax boxes with the tariffs in order to force an interest rate reduction in the central bank. As a result, the US debt could be paid back favorably, the mortgage prices would decrease, the clip claims. Due to the tariffs, companies would also be forced to produce in the United States. Farmers would have to sell their food in the United States, which would reduce prices. “It will make you rich,” says the video. “Trump takes away from the rich and passes on to the middle class due to lower prices.” The well -known major shareholder Warren Buffet therefore calls the strategy “the best economic policy for 50 years,” said the spokesman.

It remains to be seen whether Trump really thought about it. With the parts of the post, however, he adopts the theses. However, some of the effects claimed in the clip had actually mentioned Trump as desirable. In the past few days, he had requested a reduction in interest through the central bank, but central bank boss Jerome Powell rejected it as “too early”. Trump had also emphasized several times that he wanted to bring industry back to the USA. However, experts doubt whether this is possible to the extent expected by Trump.

It is also not to be expected that the middle class should benefit at the expense of the rich. The United States imports more food than it exports. However, the prices of these imports rise through the tariffs, while exports do not necessarily drop. So it is more likely to increase food prices.

In fact, experts expect an opposite effect. “The effect will be stronger for people with less income,” analyst Dipanjan Chatterjee told the AP news agency. According to experts for poorer parts of the population, the risk of a job loss as a result of the tariffs is also greater, warns Gustavo Flores-Macías from the Cornell University. “If the consequences of the tariffs eat through the economy, the jobs will usually break away from the first low -income families.”

So why is Warren Buffet praises Trump’s politics, as the clip claims? The simple answer: he doesn’t. On the contrary: “Customs are a declaration of war in a way,” he said in an interview with “CNN” at the beginning of March about the plans of the President. That was before the fully extent of the tariffs were known. “In any case, she won’t pay the tooth fairy.”
