Trump avoids stock market talk in social media frenzy

President Trump made no comments about the sinking stock market on Monday. As Wall Street continued its sell-off to begin the week, the president did not make any public appearances and no public statements about the stock market. However, he was active on social media — sharing several dozen favorable articles about himself and Republican praise for his leadership. Over the weekend, the president refused to rule out a possible recession, which further spooked investors.
