Scored by MediaBias News; method at https://mediabias.news/methodology. **The short version** - Donald Trump attributed a sharp stock market decline on Thursday to Democratic election victories and voters. - The Nasdaq index dropped more than 5 percent, with artificial intelligence-related companies experiencing significant losses. - This occurred one day after the Dow Jones Industrial Average saw gains following Democratic successes in the midterm elections. - Trump had previously taken credit for market rallies after Democratic wins. Donald Trump stated on Thursday that the stock market experienced one of its worst days in history due to election results. He blamed Democrats and voters for the decline. The Nasdaq lost over 5 percent of its value, with companies involved in artificial intelligence being particularly affected. This downturn followed a day where the Dow Jones Industrial Average had shown significant gains after Democrats secured victories in the midterm elections. ## Disagreement on market performance News Facts Network reported that the Dow fell 3.4%, the S&P 500 dropped 4.4%, and the Nasdaq plunged 5.5%, describing it as its worst performance since a 2025 tariff shock. RadarOnline.com stated that stocks related to the artificial intelligence trade were decimated, with Nvidia falling 9.3 percent and Broadcom dropping 10.5 percent, while Qualcomm finished the session down 9.5 percent. It also noted that the day's stock massacre contrasted heavily with Wednesday's numbers, which saw decent gains after the Republican party suffered political loss. ## What was left out None of the centre or right-rated reports mention the $2.5 trillion figure for the stock market hit that RadarOnline.com reported. The specific stock performance figures for Nvidia, Broadcom, and Qualcomm, as detailed by RadarOnline.com, were also not mentioned in the centre or right-rated reports. ## Who covered it Shares of the 19 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 32% (6) - Centre: 26% (5) - Right: 42% (8) 22 of 41 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

Most recently checked 2026-11-06T15:00:26.171Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left - Left-rated outlets reported that Donald Trump blamed voters for a stock market crash. The digests stated that Trump specifically blamed those who voted for Democratic candidates in the midterm elections. - These reports indicated that the stock market experienced one of its worst days in history. The digests mentioned that approximately $2.5 trillion was wiped off the Nasdaq-100. - The digests noted that Trump made these statements on his social network, Truth Social. Some reports also mentioned that chip stocks suffered heavy losses in the sell-off. ### Centre - Centre-rated outlets highlighted Donald Trump's shifting statements regarding the stock market. RadarOnline.com reported that Trump blamed Democrats' 'Midterms "Bluenami"' for an 'unprecedented $2.5 trillion hit' to the stock market, quoting his Truth Social posts that the market suffered 'one of the Worst Days in History based on the results of the Election.' The outlet also noted Trump's previous claims of credit for market booms following Democratic victories. Internewscast also focused on Trump blaming Democrats' 'sweeping election gains' for the 'historic stock-market' plunge. News Facts Network detailed Trump blaming 'voters and Democrats' for Thursday's sell-off, contrasting it with his previous day's claims of personal credit for a post-election rally and noting the Nasdaq's 5.5% plunge. ### Right - Right-rated outlets focused on Donald Trump's direct blame of Democrats and voters for the stock market's performance. Bizpac Review and American Wire News both used the headline 'Trump faults ‘Dumocrats’ for stock market plunge: ‘Sad to see’', summarising that Trump was 'quick to blame Democrats after an unprecedented stock market sell-off on Thursday'. Realitatea.net reported that Trump 'accuses the Americans of causing the collapse of the Wall Street stock exchange after they voted against the Republicans', quoting him as saying, 'You have no one to blame but yourselves!' The outlet also noted the Nasdaq's 5.5% loss and fears about artificial intelligence. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
