      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.
