when Obama was sworn in on 1/20/09, the DOW closed at 7949.
when the hypocrite-in-chief was sworn in on 1/20/17, the DOW closed at 19,827

so, the DOW rose almost 12,000 points under Obama. So far under the hypocrite-in-chief, the DOW is up about 2200 points.

45 is the most disgusting piece of filth to appear in quite a long while

14. Its Amazing the Big Deal Trump's Supporters Make About the Stock Market Reaching 20,000

The stock market only need 173 points to get to 20,000 points. Trump and his supporters are acting like a fourth string player who came into the game during the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, scored the last points of blowout game, and then claimed he was the MVP of the game.

The DOW reaching 20,000 points and going even higher has nothing to do with Donald Trump. The continued upward movement of the DOW is a sign of just how good President Obama was on the economy. The DOW has yet again proven Republican Party ideology wrong. President Obama, like President Clinton, did just about everything that the Republican Party said would wreck the economy. However, the exact opposite happened. The actions proposed by President Obama and taken by a Democratic Congress improved the economy.

They are status quo numbers. Nothing extraordinary. But building on the 80 (must be 80 by now) straight months of job growth as a result of the Obama administration.

The contrast between Pres Obama and Trump, written by Nancy on The Washington Monthly, I read things about Obama that I had never heard before, I almost had tears in my eyes reading about all who loved him who were working for him in the White House, it was a lovely article.

Mr Obama is the genuine personification of distinction, intelligence, compassion, respect, humility, good manners, education, courtesy, dignity, all those qualities which are the real wealth and wich makes a human great,

These numbers are already baked in the cake, Trump can only take credit for the numbers after at least a year in office.
Hopefully Trump will be replaced by then.
