January? Trump wasn’t even in office for almost the majority of January! The increase is on Biden!

@specman How? International markets have been adjusting to Trump's promised and actual actions since early November. Money tends to be like that.

@specman Actually it takes around 10 years to recover or make profit again. Same all over the world.

@specman nice try. He can’t use that tire old excuse anymore. Everything that happens now, is entirely on Trump.
