Internet reports that White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said in an interview with "This Week" on Sunday that the stock market crash was not a deliberate strategy by President Donald Trump. Earlier, Trump shared a link to a video on his social media platform Real Social that claimed the president was deliberately sending markets tumbling as part of his broader economic plan. When asked repeatedly if Trump intended to orchestrate a market sell-off, Hassett responded: "He didn't want the market to crash." He wants to do something for American workers." "Letting the market crash is not a strategy (for the government)," Hassett said.
