The Aporia · Trump Responds To Midterm Market Selloff With A Blunt Reminder About Who Won

President Donald Trump held an unexpected press conference on Monday to address recent stock market volatility, particularly a significant drop that occurred shortly after Democrats won control of Congress in midterms. He blamed this sharp decline, which saw a record $2.9 trillion loss from the S&P 500 index and more than $7 trillion wiped off global markets within days post-elections, on Democratic victories rather than Republican policies. Trump claimed that the market rebounded Thursday because investors believed his administration had regained control of economic direction despite not being directly involved in the election results.

Story summary

On November 8, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump vowed a political comeback after the Republican Party lost control of both houses of Congress in midterm elections. The Democrats' victory triggered financial turmoil, leading to a $5.4 trillion market value loss on Wall Street as investors worried about potential regulatory clampdowns on artificial intelligence and data centers. Trump blamed the stock market plunge on Democratic victories, writing on Truth Social: "The Stock Market suffered one of the Worst Days in History based on the results of the Election," adding, "So sad to see, you only have yourselves to blame!" This election result left Trump politically hamstrung for his remaining two-year period as president and opened the door to potential investigations by the Democrat-controlled Congress into him, his family, and senior administration officials.
