Buffett: best economic moves from Trump in 50 years? Totally fake video
The financier denies as false the statements in the video shared on Donald Trump's Truth Social account
1' min read
Warren Buffett absolutely does not think Trump is making the best economic choices in 50 years. And to make this known Berkshire Hathaway had to deny comments attributed to its chairman as false, after Donald Trump's account on Truth Social shared a video that suggested Warren Buffett would approve of the US president's economic policies.
The fake video
.The video, posted by a user named AmericanPapaBear, claimed that Trump was intentionally "crashing" the market to force the US Federal Reserve to lower interest rates while making stocks more accessible to middle-class investors. "That's why Warren Buffett just said Trump is making the best economic moves he's seen in 50 years," the video reads.
Berkshire said in a statement, "There are reports currently circulating on social media (including Twitter, Facebook and Tik Tok) regarding comments allegedly made by Warren E. Buffett. All of these reports are false." Buffett told CNBC that it was important to clear up the misinformation quickly and that he will not speak to anyone about the markets, the economy, or rates between now and Berkshire's annual shareholders meeting on 3 May in Omaha, Nebraska. Share prices plummeted after Trump announced on Wednesday far-reaching global tariffs, much larger than investors and economists had expected.
