Everyone and their mother already knows that the economic boom started immediately when Trump was elected, the real beginning of the 'Trump years', as a result of investor confidence with Trump's economic policies, driven by anticipation of his tax cuts, deregulation, infrastructure stimulus, etc. People didn't want to invest in the expected Obama/Clinton economy, but when they saw the incoming Trump train they went hog wild.


If Clinton had won there would have been a smaller but similar upturn.

The economy flatlined at virtually the same time the campaigns started.

No one took me up on adjusting the DOW for inflation from 2008 to 2018.

DOW in 2008 was around 13,000

One dollar now is worth 85 cents of 2008.

So the current dow, adjusted for inflation, is about 22,000

I guess it's easier to be destructive... Instead of trying to argue.
