While the market has consistently gained under Trump, the gains haven’t been record-setting. From inauguration day on January 20 through October 27, the S&P 500 shows a 15.38% annualized rate of return. That’s less than the annualized percentages achieved under five other presidents.
Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama all did better over the course of their terms. The top returns were achieved under a pair a pair of Democrats for whom Trump has expressed disdain–Bill Clinton at a 17.49% total return per year and Barack Obama at 16.25%.
So, you are comparing a little over 3 years, to full term presidents?
How stupid is that?
Hey, I've earned 20% interest and I've been investing for the last 20 years.....why have you not earned the same 20%, you've been investing for 4 years...whats wrong with you?
Such a failure of a thread.
ETA, did not even look at the date of the link provided.....which makes it that much more bad for tho op...the OP is comparing full term presidents to about a year of the OP's CURRENT president.....
Best president ever... Suck it up snowflakes... By the way... Your article is from 2017... It's 2020 now...
I'd say I was surprised at the "lie", but then I'd be lying.
Is it the "greatest economy ever!" - debatable at best : lower GDP growth, but very low unemployment and real wage growth.
Is it the "best stock market ever!" - probably not, but again, we're talking about 3 years, not 8. You're also talking about being in a recession, and so the stock market depressed, and being in a period of recovery which we surely were in Jan 2017.
So can Democrats officially stop stating that the tax cuts benefited the rich?
