President Donald Trump on Friday reshared a video on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating that he is 'purposely crashing the stock market.' The video suggests that the president is intentionally causing a market downturn to push cash into U.S. Treasuries, lower Federal Reserve interest rates, and refinance trillions of dollars in debt at lower costs. The video also claims that renowned investor Warren Buffett praised Trump's economic strategies, allegedly saying that the president is 'making the best economic moves he's seen in over 50 years.' This implication suggests Buffett supports Trump's recent tariffs and their impact on the market. In response, Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett's company, issued a statement denying these claims. The company stated that reports circulating on social media regarding comments allegedly made by Warren Buffett are false. Berkshire Hathaway emphasized that Buffett did not endorse Trump's tariff policies and clarified that such tariffs are 'confrontational and, to some extent, akin to acts of war.' The incident has caused confusion among investors and the public, as the purported support from Buffett could influence perceptions of the president's economic policies. The markets have been volatile following the recent tariffs announced by Trump, contributing to uncertainty in the financial sector.
