Stock Market Performance by President | MacroTrends
If you enable all the available Presidents it shows that Trump 2.0 is on course to hot Bush's lowest ecomonic point in half the time, overtake Reagan's lowest point by Monday, overtake Carter's lowest point in half the time, hit Nixon's lowest point at a fraction of the time and has already beaten every other of his peers with only two finding themselves navigating a much worse economy than the US is currently under - Hoover and Coolidge - the Depression Era leaders.
And Hoover didn't self-impose it
And the US economy has yet to be hit by further tariffs from Trump
Or other nation responses
At current rate America will enter recession just after Christmas 2025
