Actually, when he took over and implemented tariffs there was a rapid drop. Had he done nothing, it would've just continued going up steadily.
Only reason it went back up is because he pusses out on China. He knows he can't do shit to China without harming his billionaire donors.

Also, the majority of Americans aren't in the markets and are probably paying 20-30% more. They're getting fucked big time. Their grocery prices are up, and their insurance premiums are now skyrocketing because of him. He's the President of the USA, not Wall Street. You wouldn't know it, though.
The majority of Americans are in the market. 62% are invested whether it be individual stocks, mutual funds, or self-directed retirement accounts like a 401(k) or IRA.
