Stock markets took a nosedive on Monday, and the former President wasn’t shy about laying the blame at the feet of the dynamic duo running the show in Washington. Barraging social media with commentary, Donald Trump promptly coined the financial fiasco the “Kamala Crash.” With the Dow Jones Industrial Average already plummeting by over 800 points—roughly more than 2%—the financial outlook isn’t looking too rosy. It seems like even the markets are getting tired of the status quo.
According to Mr. Trump, this market debacle is all on the White House. He made it abundantly clear: between the mismanagement of the economy by President Biden and Vice President Harris, the nation is teetering on the brink of disaster. The market’s free fall can be traced back to a disappointing jobs report that sent investors into a panic. As if the situation wasn’t bad enough, concerns about a broader economic slowdown are swirling like bees around honey. Throw in sluggish consumer spending for good measure, and it’s no wonder the markets are acting like a car with a flat tire—bumpy and on the verge of a breakdown.
'Kamala Crash': Trump blames Harris for stock sell-off, warns of looming 'great depression' https://t.co/QJRLRT12Xd

In his usual flair, Trump reminded voters that they have a choice to make in the upcoming election. They can either opt for “Trump prosperity,” marked by economic growth and stability or continue on their current path toward what he ominously deemed the “Kamala crash & great depression of 2024.” That sounds like a real pick-your-poison moment for the American public—and if history has taught anyone anything, it’s that no one truly wants to sign up for a great depression.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is scrambling to get a grip on her economic message while trying to steer the Democrats’ campaign ship through these choppy waters. “Bidenomics” has been received as warmly as a cold cup of coffee. Despite a seemingly robust jobs market, everyday Americans have suffered from skyrocketing prices that have eaten away any wage gains they’ve experienced. It’s almost as if the average voter feels they have more in common with their grocery receipt than with joyful opportunities.
As the markets rally toward disaster, Trump also took a moment to raise the alarm about potential geopolitical conflicts, specifically hinting at the “probability of World War III” if the current leadership continues on its misguided course. With so many threats swirling—financially and globally—it’s hard for the average American not to feel a sense of urgency about the coming election. The stakes have never been higher, and with the prospect of a “Kamala crash,” voters will have to think long and hard about their future on Election Day.
