Trump’s Tariffs and Stock Market Strategy Spark Recession Fears

Former President Donald Trump's economic strategies, particularly his proposed tariffs, are raising concerns about a potential recession, according to recent reports. Aides close to Trump have suggested that his tariff policies could lead to economic downturns, a strategy that some believe is intentional to manipulate the stock market.

Economist Kevin Hassett, who served in the Trump administration, has publicly stated that a stock market crash is not part of Trump's strategy. However, Trump's recent social media activity, where he shared a post suggesting a deliberate crash of the stock market, contradicts Hassett's claims. This has led to widespread speculation and concern among investors and economic analysts.

Trump's aides have reportedly discussed the possibility of a recession as a 'wild chess move' to secure political advantage. This approach has been met with criticism and fear, as it could destabilize the economy further. The Times of India reported that Trump agrees with the notion of a stock market crash being a successful strategy, adding to the global discourse on his economic policies.
