The Dow 03/16/2020 vs 01/22/2017

All this time the orange braggart boasted about the greatest economy ever because the overheated stock market was doing so well.

Well, after today's close here are the numbers:

January 22, 2017. The day trump assumed office: 19,827.25
March 16, 2020 close: 20, 188.52

For all the bragging, the difference is now a lousy +361 points.
