Summary

As the stock market plunged Monday due to Trump’s trade wars, he spent the day posting on Truth Social.

The Nasdaq fell 4%, its worst drop since 2022, while the S&P 500 lost nearly 3%. Major tech stocks, including Tesla, saw significant losses.

Trump posted over 100 times, endorsing his tariffs despite investor panic. A White House official dismissed the sell-off as irrational fear.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick insisted a recession is unlikely. Trump avoided a clear recession prediction, calling the economy’s shift a “transition.”

    English isn’t my first language (not even a second one) so I really don’t have a clue about the difference between “the stripper” and “a stripper”.

      It’s all good, what I’m getting at is basically this:

      Don’t trust the stripper = don’t trust a specific one, like the one someone is paying to dance for them at any given time for a hypothetical example

      Don’t trust a stripper = strippers shouldn’t be trusted in general
