S&P 500, for the first 1130 days of each presidency.

Obama:
Jan 20, 2009: 804.47
Feb 24, 2012: 1366 up 69.8 %

Trump:
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%.
