Obviously he handled COVID extremely poorly and it didn’t need to be as dramatic of a crash, but I think that factor alone was the leading reason of why that happened
Handled Covid poorly as it spread, and was instrumental in undoing the tools to help stop such outbreaks developed initially by GWB and then by Obama. Oh, right, that’s why he undid a lot of it. Out of spite, not out of sense. Mirrors more or less everything he’s doing now.
I agree, and that’s one of the reasons that I’m interested in how they compare now, as those graphs were made before Biden’s term and it would be insightful to see the comparison between Biden post COVID, Trump, and the others listed.
Here’s an interactive one where you can select where you want to compare. Obama’s first term was a slide indeed, but it’s important to note that his term started after the slide had already started. I agree it should be included here in fairness, but then you’d see both the plummet as well as the recovery, and maybe some don’t want to give him credit for that and only focus on the first days.
Wasn’t his first term in 2008? Like, the year the world housing hubble burst and banks had to be bailed out and all that? You can’t blame that on him, as little as you can blame the Corona dip on Trump. Both happend on a global scale.
What’s different around now is that the rest the world is doing just fine while the American stock market crashed. I can’t remember any other time this happend to this extend.
Has his first term
Thank you!
I think including his first term actually sells the point of how bad this term is even more effectively than leaving it out.
Thanks, I don’t know why they left out his first term.
Id actually like to see the last 10 terms
I found some relevant graphs in my photos from his first term that are also neat:
I’d be curious how they stack up now.
To be fair COVID had a great deal to do with that

Horrible colour scheme with night light filter.
It’s just a horrible color scheme regardless
What’s difficult to read about the four similarly green lines?
But, it’s still lacking Obama’s first term…

Donny still got some catching up to do to reach Dubbya or Nixon levels
And somehow, Biden does a lot better in this one.
