Saturday, November 7, 2026 - President Donald Trump has attributed Thursday’s sharp stock market decline to the victory of the Democratic Party in the midterm elections earlier in the week.
Following the close of U.S. markets on Thursday, Trump posted
on his Truth Social platform to link the market drop to the election outcome.
"The Stock Market crashed today because the Dumocrats
had a big Tuesday — So sad to see, you only have yourselves to blame!"
Trump posted on Truth Social.
Market analysts offered a different perspective on the
selloff, attributing the decline to investor concerns over the future of big
tech investments. Wall Street analysts noted growing fears that incoming
lawmakers could impose restrictions on the artificial intelligence data center
investment boom, driving the tech-heavy Nasdaq to its worst single-session
percentage loss since April 2025.
Data center construction projects have drawn widespread
public criticism over energy and resource consumption, leading several newly
elected midterm candidates to promise legislative slowdowns or increased
scrutiny on future developments.
