Trump now blames voters for stock market plunge
As we’ve just seen, the president was last heard from blaming the Democrats for Thursday’s stock dip.
Now, it’s your fault for voting them in – at least according to his latest Truth Social post.
“The Stock Market crashed today because the Dumocrats had a big Tuesday – So sad to see, you only have yourselves to blame!”

Trump blames stock market nose-dive on Dems’ midterm victories – and this gripe is actually accurate
President Donald Trump has blamed Thursday’s stock market nose-dive on Democrats’ midterm victories – an assessment with which few would argue.
“The Stock Market suffered one of the Worst Days in History based on the results of the Election. Such a sad thing to watch!” Trump wrote on Truth Social after the closing bell rang Thursday.
“It took so much work to get us to a level that no one has ever seen before, and then this. Your 401(k)s have, therefore, dropped.
“Remember, it wasn’t Republicans, it was Dumocrats. Do not fear, however, we will soon, one way or the other, be BIGGER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
While Trump’s online rants typically are exaggerated or sprinkled with falsehoods, it is accurate to say that the blue tsunami in reliably Republican states Tuesday also hit Wall Street.

Midterm election results in full: Live maps with Mississippi Senate race too close to call
The fate of Donald Trump’s final years in the White House will be significantly influenced by the midterm results, as his political opponents gain essential power over policymaking. With control of both chambers, Democrats can now serve as a check on Trump’s most extreme policies.
All 435 seats in the House of Representatives were up for election, along with 35 seats in the 100-member Senate.
With the majority of preliminary results declared, Democrats are expected to hold at least 54 seats in the Senate after a series of victories in former Republican strongholds, including Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, Ohio, Maine and Iowa.

Abdul El-Sayed has already found something he wants to work with Trump on
Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed has already found something he wants to work with President Donald Trump on — cutting aid to Israel.
The Michigan Democrat — who has been an outspoken critic of Israeli leadership during the war in Gaza, which he calls a genocide — backed Trump’s idea to cut $4 billion in aid to Israel by the end of the year, saying that he would “love to work with him on doing that.”
“I don’t think we should be continuing to subsidize a foreign military that has done the worst things with our money,” El-Sayed told the hosts of MS NOW’s Morning Joe Thursday. “In fact, I don’t know that we should be continuing to sell weapons to a country that is, again, using our weapons to do awful things.”

Senior Trump official calls Hegseth firing rumors ‘delusional thinking’
There are rumors swirling that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth may get the axe after the unpopular Iran war hurt Republicans in the midterms.
“Anyone looking to point fingers should start looking for another scapegoat. The Pentagon and the White House made their positions crystal clear tonight. They are coming out swinging in support of Hegseth and that should tell you everything you need to know,” a senior administration official told NewsNation’s Kellie Meyer.
“Suggesting he’s looking for an exit or preparing to step aside is delusional thinking and misreading the situation. He’s not going anywhere. He’s going to remain focused on his mission, he won’t be distracted by the noise, and he’s not going to let the pressure dictate his future.
“The idea that the Left and no name sources can manufacture enough controversy to force him out is wishful thinking. He’s been through way tougher fights and this fight has only begun. Never bet against Pete,” the official added.
