Trumps comments on Truth Social

Interestingly he's suggesting that he's doing all this on purpose. Why would he say that? Well the market could take this (a) positively: he's still in control and there is a masterplan (b) negatively: he's openly hostile against the economy. Trump is obviously hoping the market will take it as (a).

There's an option you're missing: he's not against the economy, but he's also not for Wall Street.
For over a decade now, populists have complained about how all the gains are going to the Wall Street fat cats. If things are improving in people's daily lives, this could be a Main Street vs Wall Street strategy.

How would these tweets (or truths) support this hypothesis? Especially the left one?

I don't know what the point of the first one is, but there is no way Trump is saying that he's intentionally crashing the economy.
The second one is focusing on how things that affect normal people (energy and egg prices, unemployment, interest rates, inflation) are improving. That's why this possibility occurred to me.
