You are on the internet, where you can just Google DJIA to find out, and you start a thread here to wait for someone to answer.
Do you understand what this internet thing is about? Besides porn of course.

On January 20, 2009, the day of Obama's inauguration, the DJIA closed at 7,949.09.

On September 21, 2012, the DJIA closed at 13,579.47. This was an increase of 70.8%

On January 20, 2017, the day of Trump's inauguration, the DJIA closet at 19,827.45.

On September 21, 2020 (today), the DJIA closed at 27,147.70. An increase since Trump's inauguration of 36.9%

If the DJIA had performed as well under Trump as it did under Obama, it would have closed more than 6,500 points higher today, 33,865.28.

11. All Three Indices Rebounded.

DJIA, S&P, & NASDAQ all rebounded and got back between 50-88% of earlier losses.
It was not quite the bloodbath it appeared in the first several hours.
All three regained that value in the last 70-100 minutes, depending on the index.
Seems like a suckers' rally, to me.

* I think it's 4:00 EASTERN. You can check it at any time, but I think this is when the market closes.

You'll find all kinds of graphs and figures.
