Recent social media chatter suggests former President Trump posted a controversial message about “brokies” following market downturns in March, which occurred after his tariff announcements, as reported by The New York Times.
Stock market corrections are not unusual. We had 5 in the ‘09-‘20 bull run. No reason for hysteria while inflation, gas, eggs and other indicators are looking better. Some econ talk last night on @cnn pic.twitter.com/dU4dRev9hy

The alleged social media post reads: “A bunch of BROKIES are crying about the stock market today! GROW UP! I don’t care about the stock market. Frankly, I don’t even look at it! I promised you lower prices – and that includes stocks! If you wanted HIGHER prices, you should have voted for Sleepy Joe! Cry me a river!”
However, extensive research has revealed no substantiation for this claim. Major media outlets have not covered any such statement, and comprehensive internet searches yield no verification of this purported post.

Further investigation of Trump’s Truth Social platform, where he frequently communicates with supporters, shows no evidence of any messages discussing “brokies” or related market commentary.
Given the complete absence of credible evidence supporting this alleged statement, the claim appears to be fabricated.
