Trump Warned of a 'Kamala Economic Crash' in Resurfaced Campaign Clips as Tariffs Tank Market: 'Every Accusation is an Admission'

Campaign trail clips of Trump warning of an economic crash if Kamala Harris is elected are circulating on social media amid a massive stock selloff triggered by tariffs.

Summary

Trump’s campaign warnings of an economic crash under Kamala Harris have resurfaced as markets plunge under his own administration.

In 2024, Trump predicted a “1929-style depression” if Harris won. Now, following his April 2 “Liberation Day” tariff hikes, global markets are collapsing.

The Dow fell nearly 350 points, while major international indices dropped 8–13%. Critics call the crash ironic and self-inflicted, with “every accusation is an admission” trending online.

Economists warn Trump’s trade war and unilateral tariffs could trigger the very recession he once forecasted under Democrats.

    They ran a terrible campaign and spent way too much time courting the right and parading out war criminals as allies. They almost definitely would not have done anything meaningful to stop the genocide in Gaza. Feel better now?

    You shouldn’t because the current regime is accelerating that genocide, starting their own genocide of trans people, disappearing legal residents, destabilizing the global economy, dismantling our educational systems, and toying with the idea of World War 3. Before you shriek “BOTH SIDES” again, maybe ask yourself if Harris would be threatening to invade Greenland right now. You also need to recognize that until our entire electoral system changes, not voting for the lesser evil is often equivalent to voting for the greater evil.

      Feel better now?

      Why the fuckity fuck would I feel better? You are reading something into my post that just ain’t there.

      Before you shriek “BOTH SIDES” again

      Read my post and tell me where I said any such thing, nevermind shrieking it, oh, and stop being a twat. This bullshit is just as bad as the thought terminating cliches of the right.

      I voted for Harris. I also knew that the “we are a bit less fascist” narrative would never drive turnout as well as the “we are the good guys” narrative because I’m a fucking adult who lives in the real world. I was there for Harris and she failed me.

      Note that I argued that the Democratic politicians should be blamed TOO. Yes, voters fucked up badly. Yes, this regime is a nightmare. I never denied either. However, getting votes is the job of a politician, and not committing genocide is the job of everyone.

        Right here:

        Seriously, unless you also spread the blame to the Biden/Harris campaign, you are being pro-genocide yourself.

          Spreading the blame for losing between American voters and Democratic politicians somehow equates Democrats and Republicans? Connect the dots for me.

            No thanks. I’ve had a really long day and you haven’t said anything interesting so I don’t feel the need to continue to engage with you.

              🙄 strawmanned the hell out of every word the other poster said, but then decide you’ve had enough and dipped.

              Punch up for once. Hold your politicians accountable for committing acts of genocide. Biden and Harris weren’t the only democrats vocally cheering on the mass bombing of Palestinian children, there are plenty still doing it now. All you want to do is punch down on anti-genocide protestors. Remarkably like those same democrats.
