  • Rising Risk of Stock Market Crash Under Trump Linked to Tax Cuts
    May 3, 2026, 6:12 AM EDT. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs recently, continuing a rally that has outpaced most past presidencies during Donald Trump's tenure. Key drivers include rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and strong corporate earnings that frequently exceed expectations. However, a major catalyst linked to Trump is the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which slashed the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, freeing up cash for companies and supporting stock buybacks. While these factors have propelled markets higher, some analysts warn this tax policy shift increases vulnerability to a potential market crash. The risk stems from how the extra capital is deployed amid evolving economic conditions, marking a critical turning point for investors.
