US President Donald Trump’s refusal to rule out the possibility of a recession sparked a market crash on Monday. The Dow Jones dropped 890 points, with many attributing this to Trump’s economic policies. Stephen Colbert described the situation as “Stocks Down, Measles Up,” suggesting that the economy is suffering.
During an interview with Fox News, Trump mentioned his tariffs and said they would make the US “so rich, you’re not going to know where to spend all that money.” However, some have questioned the impact of these policies. In response, comedian Seth Meyers joked about Trump’s economic theories.
The market downturn has also brought attention to the recent change in daylight saving time, with many people struggling to adjust. Stephen Colbert poked fun at the situation, saying he set his clocks ahead four years but it didn’t work for him.
Other notable news includes a segment on “Have I Got News For You” featuring former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and an upcoming appearance by drag performer Trixie Mattel on “After Midnight.” Lady Gaga has also released her new album, “Mayhem,” which mines her past for nostalgic themes.
