Trump Calls Market Meltdown One of the 'Worst Days in History'

President Trump has spoken out on today's stock market crash, branding the session one of the market's “worst days in history.” The statement was released as the selloff battered Wall Street, according to a post from @KobeissiLetter on X.

The outlet pushed the statement out as breaking news, quoting Trump's own words on the scale of the drop. No further detail from the statement was included in that post.

It's a blunt label from the Oval Office — the president of the United States putting a single trading day in the same breath as the market's darkest chapters. That kind of language travels fast on trading desks and feeds straight into the panic-versus-capitulation debate.

What the crash means for the broader economy, and whether the White House follows the statement with anything more concrete, is the next thing markets will be watching.
