(11,094 posts)youre right! Especially that one day there that went straight up. Must have been a day when Trump made a few Sharpie adjustments.

2017- Obama's tax rates, policies, and budget were still in effect, he owns that year for the stock marker gains.
2018- Trump ended the longest bull run in US history. Stocks went down in 2018.
2019- Nice year for the market, 25%+.
2020 Markets down for the year.
So 1 out of 3 years under Trump was really good.

S&P 500
Jan 20, 2009: 804.47
Feb 24, 2012: 1366 up 69.8 %
Jan 20, 2017: 2263.69
Feb 24, 2020: 3225.89 up 42.5 %
And that is not counting today's drop.
Even if we use the intra-day high of 3393.52 from Feb 13, 2020, tRump only managed 50% compared to Obama's 70%.

(43,161 posts)been hovering there for an hour. Scarcely an uptick all day. Looks like thousands more to drop over the next few weeks.
They will tell you it's due to CoV-19, but with lofty evaluations for months and months this has been a market waiting for an excuse to correct.
