Yahoo Finance Trump says markets are just taking 'a little pause' — here's how Twitter is reacting
It’s no secret that U.S. President Donald Trump loves to tweet. Whether it’s early in the morning, the middle of the night, or any time in between, if the president thinks of a tweet, the president sends a tweet.
Today in “what did Trump tweet now?” we have a post on one of his favourite topics, the stock market. The president enjoys taking credit when markets are up and assigning blame when they’re down. And these days, they’re down big time.
Trump addressed that on Tuesday by saying markets are taking “a little pause” while investors weigh the outcome of next month’s U.S. midterm elections:
The Stock Market is up massively since the Election, but is now taking a little pause – people want to see what happens with the Midterms. If you want your Stocks to go down, I strongly suggest voting Democrat. They like the Venezuela financial model, High Taxes & Open Borders!

It shouldn’t really be a surprise then that the Twitter masses had a thing or two to say about that.
When a year’s worth of gains are wiped out, one cannot call that “a little pause.”

LOL "a little pause", meaning all of 2018 gains have been lost. #LiarinChief #MAGAterror pic.twitter.com/Cu4eywKijZ

It‘s not a pause. It‘s a massive downswing because of your trade wars.

Like a wounded animal fighting for its life. How pathetic for a @POTUS. You should also take “ a little pause” from inciting violence & fear https://t.co/OEuDG4dRtY

Little pause? Market is NEGATIVE for all of 2018. After 8 yrs of massive growth under Obama, you have tanked it … in less than two yrs. Well done Tiny!

And that’s just a small sampling of the ones with language we can actually run!
We want to know what you think. Will markets recover after the midterms? Are Trump’s policies good for investors? Will a Democrat-led Congress bring markets down or will they improve the situation for investors? Let us know in the comments below.
