Donald Trump has attributed the recent downturn in the U.S. stock market to President Joe Biden's policies, distancing himself from any association with its current performance. He stated, "The stock market now is Biden's stock market, not Trump's." This statement comes as the market faces volatility amid concerns about inflation and potential interest rate hikes. Trump's assertion suggests a strategy to deflect blame from his own economic legacy should the market continue to falter. While Trump claims tariffs are not a factor, many economists believe trade policies can influence market stability. The long-term impact of both administrations' policies remains to be seen, but the current market climate provides ample opportunity for political maneuvering. The back and forth blame game has become a tradition with previous administrations. ```
