Days After Biden/Harris Take Credit For Economy – DOW Collapses by 1000 Points

Last week, President Biden confidently assured the nation that his administration’s policies had revived the struggling economy. “I cured the economy,” he stated, taking full credit for what he described as a remarkable recovery. Biden’s comments came as part of a broader effort to bolster public confidence in his replacement, Kamala Harris. While the media has praised Kamala, Democrats are scared she will be defeated by Trump in November.

Vice President Kamala Harris also joined in the chorus of economic triumph, touting the administration’s achievements. Harris claimed that the administration’s measures had “brought stability and growth.” Her remarks were meant to highlight the positive impact of their policies on the American people. However, the timing of these claims could not have been worse. Because literally days later, the stock market opened to a massacre.

From Fox Business:
Stocks plunged on Monday as U.S. recession fears caused turmoil throughout the global markets.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled by as much as 1,300 points, while the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 also fell.

A weak jobs report and shrinking manufacturing activity in the world’s largest economy, coupled with dismal forecasts from the big technology firms, pushed the Nasdaq 100 and Nasdaq Composite into a correction last week.

A Reality Check from the Market

In a stunning turn of events, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent proclamations of economic success have been met with a harsh dose of reality. Just days after Biden declared, “I cured the economy,” the stock market experienced a significant crash this Monday morning.

This week, global markets experienced a dramatic rout, with major indices plummeting. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 1,300 points, the S&P 500 declined by 2.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite declined by 3%. Investors were left reeling as fears of an impending recession took hold.

Trump’s Dire Warning

Former President Donald Trump seized the opportunity to criticize the current administration. In a fiery statement, he warned that the country was on the brink of a collapse. Trump argued that the Biden-Harris administration’s policies were leading the nation down a dangerous path. “Kamala’s Crash,” as he dubbed it, was evidence of their failure to manage the economy effectively.

From Truth Social:
Of course there is a massive market downturn. Kamala is even worse than Crooked Joe. Markets will NEVER accept the Radical Left Lunatic that DESTROYED San Francisco and California, as a whole. Next move, THE GREAT DEPRESSION OF 2024! You can’t play games with MARKETS. KAMALA CRASH!!!

Market Experts Weigh In

Market analysts were quick to offer their insights into the situation. They pointed to a combination of factors contributing to the market crash, including rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical tensions. These issues, they argued, had been exacerbated by the administration’s policies, leading to increased uncertainty and volatility in the markets.

The dramatic market downturn has left many Americans questioning the true state of the economy. While the Biden administration continues to assert that their policies are working, the reality on the ground tells a different story. As the nation grapples with the fallout from this market crash, it remains to be seen how Biden and Harris will navigate the economic challenges that lie ahead.

Kamala’s Big Problem

The media has been propping up Harris over the last few weeks. Yet, her chances in November rest on the public believing Biden has done an impressive job. Biden’s poor approval was a big part of his stepping down from the election. How does Harris expect to turn around public opinion of a failed presidency when most people blame her as much as they blame Biden? This market crash is coming at the worst time imaginable, and Americans won’t forget who’s to blame.

Key Takeaways:

  • President Biden and Vice President Harris claimed economic success just before a major market crash.
  • The stock market experienced a significant downturn, raising fears of a recession.
  • Former President Trump warned of a “Great Depression 2024” and criticized the current administration.
  • Market analysts cited inflation, supply chain issues, and geopolitical tensions as contributing factors.
