ELECTION 2020

[Rootilda]

Even if we count the stock market separately, Trump still inherited a healthy one from Obama. If we had gotten Trump immediately after Dubya in 2008 when the stock market was in the shitter, this wouldn't have happened.

(And I'm pretty sure I've posted this information at least once before this but it never. fucking. seeps. in. Willful ignorance)

Obama Had More Stock Market Records Than Trump

When Trump entered office he benefited from an economy that was in its eighth year of growth, a stock market that had been consolidating for about two years and was close to an all-time high. Making new highs is much easier in this situation vs. the one that greeted Obama when he took office.

Also: Overall, we rate Forbes Right-Center biased based on story selection that tends to favor the right and the political affiliation of its ownership. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting, rather than High due to some misleading or false stories related to climate science.
