'1929 Again...': Trump Warns Of Great Depression If US Courts Rule Against Tariffs
Trump said billions of dollars are coming into the US coffers and warned of a '1929-style Great Depression' if the court rules against tariffs
US President Donald Trump on Friday defended his move to impose tariffs, saying they have a huge positive impact on the stock market.
Trump said billions of dollars are coming into the US coffers and warned of a '1929-style Great Depression' if the court rules against tariffs.
'If a Radical Left Court ruled against us at this late date, in an attempt to bring down or disturb the largest amount of money, wealth creation and influence the U.S.A. has ever seen, it would be impossible to ever recover, or pay back, these massive sums of money and honor. It would be 1929 all over again, a GREAT DEPRESSION! If they were going to rule against the wealth, strength, and power of America, they should have done so LONG AGO, at the beginning of the case, where our entire Country, while never having a chance at this kind of GREATNESS again, would not have been put in 1929 style jeopardy," he wrote on Truth Social.
The US President said there is no way America could recover from such a judicial tragedy. 'But I know our Court System better than anyone, there is no one in history that has gone through the trials, tribulations and uncertainties such as I, and absolutely terrible, but also amazingly beautiful, things can happen," he added.

Trump signals support for Netanyahus Gaza takeover amid global criticism
Washington [US], August 10 (ANI): US President Donald Trump has signalled tacit approval for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to take over the Gaza Strip, framing it as an Israeli decision amid growing international criticism, The Hill committing the US to lead humanitarian aid efforts amid Gaza's dire crisis, Trump refrained from opposing Israel's military expansion in the region. 'As far as the rest of it, I really can't say. That's going to be pretty much up to Israel," he said earlier this week, The Hill move, approved by Israel's security Cabinet, has deepened divisions domestically and isolated Israel from European, Arab, and Gulf allies. Germany announced a halt on military exports to Israel for use in Gaza, following similar stances by France, Canada, and the UK, which has called an emergency UN Security Council meeting, The Hill Vice President Vance, meeting British Foreign Minister David Lammy, acknowledged differences in approach but noted shared objectives. 'There's a lot of common objectives here. There is some, I think, disagreement about how exactly to accomplish those common objectives," he dismissed international criticism, stating, 'We are not going to occupy Gaza – we are going to free Gaza from Hamas." He vowed to establish a peaceful civilian administration independent of Hamas or the Palestinian Authority to secure hostages' release and prevent future military chief Eyal Zamir warned the Cabinet the occupation could endanger hostages and entrap the military but committed to executing the plan 'in the best possible way."The Israeli public remains divided, with many doubting the operation will end Hamas's rule or secure hostages. Opposition leader Yair Lapid called the Cabinet's decision a 'total disaster."In Washington, bipartisan support for Israel persists, but Netanyahu's war strategy and the humanitarian toll have eroded some public opinion, with voices like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene calling the conflict a 'genocide." Sen. Bernie Sanders gained increased support for blocking arms sales to Arabia condemned Netanyahu's Gaza takeover plan, denouncing the 'crimes of starvation, brutal practices, and ethnic cleansing" against from Egypt and Qatar, collaborating with the US, are reportedly drafting a ceasefire framework involving the release of hostages in exchange for ending the war and Israeli withdrawal, The Associated Press Todman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies warned of the risks of a prolonged Israeli occupation without a clear exit plan, saying, 'Unless the United States changes its stance, I think ultimately, Israel will continue with this plan."

'90% Of India Makes Less Than Rs 25k A Month...': Jay Kotak On ICICI Bank's MAB Hike
Last Updated: Jay Kotak criticized ICICI Bank's hike in minimum balance to Rs 50,000, noting 90% of Indians earn under Rs 25,000 monthly. He suggested a 'Digital First' approach for inclusivity. Jay Kotak, the co-head of Kotak811 and the son of Uday Kotak, has reacted sharply on ICICI Bank's announcement to hike the minimum balance requirement for savings account to Rs 50k from Rs 10k earlier opened on or after August 1, 2025. Kotak emphasized that every Indian must access financial sector, given that 90% of India makes less than Rs 25,000 per month. This move is aimed at expanding its premium customer base, a banker told NDTV Profit on condition of anonymity. The chart from the World Inequality Database (2021) shows India's stark income distribution, where 90% of the population earns below ₹25,000 per month. The bottom half earns less than ₹9,500, while only the top 5% make over ₹64,380, and the top 3% cross ₹1 lakh. Kotak, however, agreed that the physical cost to serve may be high, but he shared that 'Digital First' might be the solution. 'If banks don't do it, fintechs will. Banking should be for all Indians," he added. In metro and urban branches, the minimum average monthly balance (MAMB) will be Rs 50,000, up from the earlier Rs 10,000. In semi-urban branches, it will rise to Rs 25,000 from Rs 5,000, while in rural branches, the requirement will double to Rs 10,000 from Rs 5,000. The higher MAMB will apply only to new accounts opened after August 1. Customers who fail to meet the requirement will face a penalty of 6% of the shortfall or Rs 500, whichever is lower. The move marks a significant shift for one of India's largest private lenders, especially as other banks are softening their penalty structures — State Bank of India, for instance, has already scrapped all minimum balance charges. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
