President Donald Trump has denied that he intended to crash the stock market after he previously posted a video on Truth Social about him crashing the market on purpose.

The president addressed the matter while aboard Air Force One, during a press gaggle with reporters as he returned to Washington, D.C., after playing golf all weekend in Florida.

Last week, Trump announced new tariffs on all imported goods from 180 countries as well as a list of “reciprocal duties” targeting China and other countries, claiming to combat trade imbalances and restore America’s manufacturing industry. He hailed the tariffs as the country’s “declaration of economic independence.”

However, Trump’s tariffs and shakeup of global trade has rattled global and domestic markets, with Wall Street tanking over the past few days, marking the worst days for the U.S. stock markets since 2020. The president has insisted that markets will “boom” as a result of his trade war.

Vice President JD Vance also told Newsmax on Thursday, as stock futures continued dropping, that things “could be worse.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Addresses Whether He Crashed Markets On Purpose” HERE)

President Donald Trump again shows the strength and resolve needed to put America first. As his ten percent universal tariffs take effect, Trump has called on Americans to “hang tough” and weather the short-term challenges, promising that the long-term benefits will be worth it. Declaring that the U.S. is in the midst of an “economic revolution,” the president is determined to break free from decades of unfair trade practices and restore American manufacturing. This bold move aims to level the playing field, ensuring American workers and industries are no longer disadvantaged.

Just days after his global tariffs took effect, Trump promised to take decisive steps to bring back American jobs and protect the nation’s economic interests. In a Truth Social post, the president promised an economic revival that the U.S. would win.

Trump has implemented a 34 percent tariff on Chinese imports, which will take effect next week. In response, Beijing said it would impose a matching 34 percent tariff on American goods starting April 10. However, the move appeared to have little impact on Trump.

Nearly just a week, after President Donald Trump’s bold new tariffs took effect, over 50 countries, are already at the negotiating table, signaling that the global economic landscape is shifting in favor of American interests. The ten percent universal tariff on imports and reciprocal tariffs targeting roughly 90 nations are proving to be a wake-up call for the world. Countries that once took advantage of unfair trade practices are now scrambling to strike better deals, understanding that America is no longer willing to play the role of the passive consumer. Trump’s “America First” approach is pushing nations to reconsider their trade practices, and it’s clear that the President’s strategy of economic toughness is beginning to pay off.

During an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins acknowledged that Trump’s tariffs have already forced other nations to bend to America’s will. She emphasized that the core purpose of these tariffs is to strengthen the U.S. economy by prioritizing American-made goods and industries. Rollins acknowledged that while the immediate impact of the tariffs may be harsh to digest, the long-term benefits for the country will be significant. She clarified that Trump’s bold policies are laying the groundwork for a more resilient and self-sufficient economy.

“We do already live under a tariff regime in this country, but it’s the tariff regime of China, of Mexico, of Brazil, of Australia, of countries that Mexico won’t take our corn, Australia won’t take our beef,” Rollins said. “The country of Honduras takes more pork than the entire European Union does, American pork, I should say. So, from our farming and ranching perspective, which is what I’m focused on, but happy to talk about anything that it has to, it is time for a change. That’s what this president evoked last Wednesday.”

“We already have 50 countries that have come to the table over the last few days, over the last weeks, that are willing and desperate to talk to us. We are the economic engine of the world, and it’s finally time that someone, President Trump, stood up for America,” she continued.
