We’re all familiar with the phrase "million-dollar question." But just two days ago, a seemingly casual question ended up costing a staggering $2 trillion—all because of the response it received.
Donald Trump’s decisions are causing turmoil in the stock markets. A question asked by a Fox News interviewer allegedly triggered a $2 trillion loss, a joke that has been widely circulating. This massive amount was wiped out from U.S. stocks.
Well here is the question and answer:-
Fox News Interviewer: "Mr. Trump, do you believe the U.S. could face a recession this year?"
Donald Trump: "Well, I hate to predict on those lines..."
Trump’s response, lacking reassurance, fueled investor fears, leading to a massive stock market sell-off.
The NASDAQ Composite has fallen 10% since December. On Monday alone, $1.7 trillion in market value was erased, marking the worst decline since September 2022.
Many assumed that Trump’s return would boost the stock market, but the opposite seems to be happening.
The share value of Elon Musk’s Tesla has taken a significant hit, suffering heavy losses. A sharp decline in Tesla’s car sales has further contributed to the downfall of its stock price.
Key factors driving the market downturn include Trump’s tariff announcements, growing fears of a recession, his replies to certain questions, and overall economic uncertainty.
