WASHINGTON, DC: A post of President Donald Trump from August 2024 about a stock market crash and terrible job numbers has made a dramatic comeback on social media.  

This comes as the S&P 500 on Monday, March 10, closed down 8.6 percent from its February 19 record high, wiping out approximately $4 trillion in the market, per Reuters.



 

Donald Trump's post about stock market crash and terrible job numbers goes viral

Almost two months after Donald Trump started the second leg of his presidency, his old post - presumably castigating Joe Biden’s administration - has gone viral.

In a post from August 2024, the MAGA spearhead took to his Truth Social platform to pen in all caps, "STOCK MARKETS ARE CRASHING, JOBS NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE, WE ARE HEADING TO WORLD WAR III, AND WE HAVE TWO OF THE MOST INCOMPETENT 'LEADERS' IN HISTORY. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!" per BuzzFeed.

Netizens feel Trump's post foreshadowed the current state of the stock market. One X user shared a screenshot of the post on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform, writing, "Literally what’s happening."
