Trump says voters should blame themselves for stock market rout

President Trump said Thursday night that voters had themselves to blame for the stock market's historic sell-off . Why it matters: Two days after Republicans lost the midterm elections in historic fashion, the president is lashing out at the voters who rejected his candidates and message.

What the coverage shows

Axios frames the story as Trump telling voters to blame themselves for the market sell-off, while The Independent frames it as Trump blaming Democrats’ midterm victories for the drop. The two outlets converge on the idea of a post-election market rout and Trump’s reaction to it, but they differ on where they place responsibility. Only Axios’ extract explicitly mentions the president “lashing out” at voters, while The Independent uniquely adds that the gripe is “actually accurate” and points to AI-related investor worries.
