Fact check- The market performance under DJT in 2025

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

Plenty of folks are providing their views on how the Trump has been performing. But wrt the market opinions mean little. Let the data speak,

The markets reacted well to Trump in 2025. As it did throughout his first term. Trumps 5 year market return outperformed the presidencies of Obama, Biden and Ronald Reagan. The market return this year wrt the SP 500 was better than the historical average.

Rather like the great Dutch Tulip bubble -- this one fronted by the top six stocks owned and run by the planet's Shit Club .

The only Stat to note concerns Commodities with Gold and Silver leading the real big growth in value .

This tells you exactly what will happen to Fiat , Bonds and Stocks once the first domino falls .

Calamity .
Unbridled disaster .

Like Clinton's 90's Dot Com years, 2025 was the year of the AI buildout for Trump. Without the AI buildout, it would have been a fairly mediocre year. 2026 could be as well, unless the energy bottleneck throws a wrench into it.

All we can do is guess. If the layoffs level out, we'll be okay as far as the big economic numbers go. But wealth disparities are only getting worse. The stock market and the street-level economy are fully decoupled right now. It happens. So we have to watch both.

If anyone pretends to know what 2026 will look like, they're full of it. The economy could go either way, or nowhere. As usual.

Maybe we already had the calamity in 2022 under Biden when the market lost about 19%…. Or even in April this year when we had a noticeable.

Either way even if the market gets crushed and loses say 40% in 2026 it will recover within a reasonable time.

Everything is better under Trump. We have the strongest economy in history.

Everything is better under Trump. We have the strongest economy in history.

The middle class was stronger under FDR and Eisenhower.

The stock market under Trump has outperformed that of GWB, Reagan, Obama and Biden.

You totally miss the point .

Exclude the big 6 stocks which are used and manipulated for performance reasons and tell us about performance in the remainder .
Has the Penny dropped ?

You mean exclude the facts

GDP 4.3%, wages increased more than inflation, 2 interest rate cuts, rents are down, the middle class just got the largest tax cut in history making their take home pay more, increase in child deduction, seniors got a huge deduction, tips are tax free, interest on car loans deductible, DOW at record high, 401Ks increased significantly, 300000 useless federal workers fired, manufacturing investment at all time high, gas under 3 dollars. My stock portfolios made a ton of money this year
I just dont see a problem.
Every democrat voted against all of this.

As long as there's not another 2022, or worse yet 2008 which was twice as bad, I'm satisfied.

My 401K had about a 20% growth this year assuming it holds that value (which I don't assume it will) but it cushions for a shit 2026 year at least. My wife only had about a 6% and some change return for the year but she puts her money in the lowest risk funds she can which means lowest growth as well. I do more mid-risk international funds to hedge against the dollar for when our economy turns south. I don't especially trust the current market but 401K contributions do shield the money from taxes so it is a matter of lose it now or maybe maybe not lose it later.
