That's not what this chart shows. This is only the first two months after inauguration .. hell of a lot more happened since 2007 than just 3 months every 4 yrs.

This is a more representative look at things
Ten weeks in and we are down about 6% on S&P 500.

@BrandNewMan "Down 6%" does not tell the full story. The big picture is trump has crashed the market so far 5 times with huge single day drops. And two dozen more times to lesser extents when he flip flops one minute wirth "tariffs are ON......no now they are off".
It is those one day HUGE drops that remove gains. The 6% is an average................but the single day drops is what erases returns. On average what one has gained on their 401k's has been erased as far back as September 2024 . And that is just "so far"..
At least it kills gains...FOR US.
For him and insiders in his administration it would be impossible to conclude that his "one minute they're on.....the next minute no its not happening" bullshit was designed for anything other than insider trading for the felon and his cronies. Every "they're on" dropped the market..........a buying opportunity..........and every "no they're off" meant a market rise.........a selling opportunity. But only he and cronies knew when each was going to be announced.

@anythingoes477 It actually is the only real story .. the rest is you trying to spread propaganda. It may get worse in short term before it gets better, so buckle up buttercup.
You'd be better served worrying about the longer term debt issues than higher volatility in the stock market. You can exit the market if you can't stomach the risk .. there will be no hiding from the effects of the debt and cost to service it.

@BrandNewMan tax cuts for higher income people won’t solve the debt
BrandNewMan · M
@Kypro The only tax cuts on the table are tips, overtime, eliminating tax on Social Security .. all among people who really dont pay taxes or only very little anyway. Certainly no billionaires benefitting from those. You are claiming that's what it will be .. based on what?
DOGE savings will help eliminate debt. Clinton cut more federal jobs than targeted now .. no liberal activist judges blocked those cuts as illegal. So .. why is it now? Hmm .. over reach and political bias in the judicial branch ??

@BrandNewMan no. 2017 tax cuts which hurt most people to be extended plus cutting estate tax largely helping the rich

Right wing news won’t tell you facts
BrandNewMan · M
@Kypro Post the sources .. I don't trust excerpts that can easily be out of context or from unknown source. Left wing news isnt reliable either because its all filtered through the bias.
Liberals claimed for years Trump paid/pays zero tax .. so if true how is he saving if he pays nothing already? Was the lie before .. or now ?

@BrandNewMan easily searchable in the internet

@Kypro Typical .. claim something you wont support. First red flag of the credibility.
Kypro · 51-55, M
@BrandNewMan it’s been known for years. Every news story since 2017 about the proposal. Maybe if you did some research you’d accept it rather than from me

The source is capaf as a clue

@Kypro
Lol .. claim to be progressive .. then claim to be non-partisan .. either confused or can't keep their story straight in their own "about" statement ..
Clearly liberal think tankish, but I'll read it.
