Trump's Agenda Faces a Democratic Congress
Economist Peter Schiff said in a post on X that President Donald Trump had warned a Democratic win would quickly push the economy into a depression not seen since the 1930s.
With Democrats winning, he said, Trump now has "the scapegoat he needs for the coming economic collapse."
Market strategist James Thorne said a Democratic Congress would not undo Trump's economic agenda, since the tax law and tariffs are already in place.
Democrats can pass bills to reverse either, he said on X, but "cannot override a veto."
Scaramucci Pokes at Trump's $5,000 Promise

"I'm starting to think we won't all be getting $5000 checks," he said.
