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.

    “If Kamala wins, you are 3 days away from the start of a 1929-style economic depression,” Trump posted on November 2, 2024. “If I win, you are 3 days away from the best jobs, the biggest paychecks, and the brightest economic future the world has ever seen.”
