Trump’s Recession Comments Shake U.S. Markets

Former President Donald Trump's recent comments about not ruling out a potential recession have sent shockwaves through the U.S. financial markets, causing significant drops in major indices. On March 10, 2025, the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all experienced declines following Trump's remarks, which were highlighted in various news outlets, including The New York Times, CNN, and Fox Business.

Trump's statement was part of a broader discussion on his podcast, where he also touched on other topics such as campus protests. His mention of a possible economic downturn led to immediate reactions in the stock market, with investors seemingly taking his words seriously. Stocks of major companies like Nvidia and Tesla were among those affected, as reported by Investors.com.

The former president's comments come at a time when the U.S. economy is experiencing a period of transition, raising concerns among investors and economists alike. While some see his remarks as a cautionary statement, others worry about the potential for a self-fulfilling prophecy, where market sentiment could drive the economy towards a recession.
