One of the talking points that comes up frequently by people looking to support Trump beyond his personal characteristics - "Look at the Stock Market - my 401k makes it all worth it!!!"
I usually ignore the argument, and just let it go without giving it any thought.
But, today, I decided to do a little research: https://www.macrotrends.net/2481/stock-market-performance-by-president
Since Trump took office - the stock market (DJIA) is up 26%
Obama - in the same time frame - was up 57% . Overall, the stock market finished up 148% at the end of Obama's term.
So, not only are we suffering with Trump's childish and immature antics, we are worse off financially. Trump is hurting America in every conceivable way.
