Stock markets are crashing, jobs numbers are terrible, we are heading to World War III, and we have two of the most incompetent leaders' in history, Mr. Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. The post underscored Mr. Trump's longstanding fixation on stock indexes as a barometer of economic health.
American voters consistently tell pollsters that the economy and consumer prices are the most important issues facing the country. Mr. Trump wants voters to believe the economy is on the brink of catastrophe, and that Ms. Harris and President Biden are to blame.
Polls have consistently shown that a majority of Americans believe the economy is in recession, even though economic statistics suggest it is not. Economic growth was surprisingly strong in the first half of the year.
This moment could set off a real economic calamity around the globe, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, Mr. Trump's running mate, posted on X on Monday. It requires steady leadership the kind President Trump delivered for four years.
