Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : While some Trump supporters took issue with that possibility, many of ZeroHedge's right-leaning, finance-savvy followers saluted Trump for playing 3-D economic chess, even if it means a short-term hit to their stock portfolios.
33% : The comments came just a few days after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the economy was in for a "detox period" as the Trump administration continues to cut federal spending, a phrase some commentators thought was a euphemism for "recession.
31% : " Today, the stock market took another dive, part of a sell-off that essentially erased all the gains made in the wake of Trump's November 2024 victory. Daniel Ivandjiiski, proprietor of the far-right financial news blog ZeroHedge, opined in a post this morning that Trump might attempt to tip the economy into a recession on purpose and will get to blame it on former President Joe Biden if the economic pain comes early enough.
24% : Trump declined to rule out a recession in an interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, as his administration's tariffs, tear-down of the federal bureaucracy, and general unpredictability spook investors.
