    Obama 2013 doesn’t really make any sense. He was already president, so nothing changed. 2009 is probably much worse cause of Bush’s recession.

      Obama 2009 looks about the same, maybe a bit stronger over 100 days. The market collapse happened in the final months of the Bush presidency, and it was just about at the bottom as Obama came into office.

      To have a number as bad as Trump II, you have to go back to Bush’s first term (in general the Bush graph is pretty bad, barely managing to make it back up to break-even for a few months before the 2008 collapse).

      It’s important to note that Trump is responsible for what’s happening. While Obama was given the financial crisis on his lap because of things out of his immediate control.

        Yeah, other presidents have ups and downs and usually it’s nearly a coincidence, good luck or bad on their part.

        Trump absolutely is responsible for current economic conditions, with no ambiguity.

        100%. Neither is a good comparison, really. Trump 2017 vs Trump 2025 might be the best comparison. But that also implies he was responsible for 2017, which he wasn’t.
