On Truth Social, President Donald Trump attempted to defend his tariff policy — which economic experts agree will raise prices for consumers and increase the risk of a recession — by amplifying a TikTok video arguing that he “is purposely crashing the market.” The video echoes claims from a post on 4chan that gained traction on the far right.

On April 4, as international financial markets continued roiling in response to the launch of his global trade war on April 2, Trump amplified a video on his social media platform Truth Social from a right-wing account that contended that “Trump is crashing the stock market by 20% this month, but he’s doing it on purpose” as part of a grand strategy to lower interest rates, weaken the dollar, and bring down prices.

The TikTok video — which was uploaded on March 15, a few days after a post on 4chan’s far-right “/pol/” message board — claimed that Trump's current tariff and economic policies were part of a “secret game” to “make you rich” and “lower the cost of everything” by “trying to crash the stock market.” The 4chan post gained traction throughout the far right on multiple platforms, and the TikTok video has since earned at least 2.3 million views.
