- Trump said Thursday night that voters had themselves to blame for the stock market's historic sell-off.
- Republicans lost the midterm elections in historic fashion two days before the president's remarks, prompting him to lash out at the voters who rejected his candidates and message.
Why it matters: Two days after Republican candidates suffered historic midterm defeats, Trump placed the stock market's sell-off on the voters who rejected his candidates and message. The timing makes this an accountability claim: the market decline is being billed to the electorate, not to the campaign that lost.
