President Donald Trump promised that his "policies will never change" as the market plunged following the announcement of massive tariffs.
President Donald Trump called out to investors on Friday, claiming that now is the perfect time to pour their money into the United States as the stock market takes a nosedive following his announcement of widespread tariffs.
On Thursday, the U.S. stock market plunged the most in one day since the onset of the COVID pandemic. By Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 2,200 points, while the Nasdaq composite fell 5.8%.
Dips in the stock market came immediately as Trump announced a blanket 10% tariff on all countries, which is slated to take effect Saturday, along with harsher levies on some Asian countries and the European Union set for Wednesday. The market decline became more drastic after China announced it would retaliate with a 34% tariff on all U.S. products beginning April 10.
Despite the panic on Wall Street, Trump had a positive message on Friday morning, writing on Truth Social, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!”
The president continued, “TO THE MANY INVESTORS COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES AND INVESTING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY, MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE.”
