28. You are cherry picking

Sun Oct 12, 2025, 05:37 AM

Sunday

to make Trump look good.
The Dow was at 44500 when the Dolt took office, he then crashed it to the April low point you chose.
It is now at 45400. That is a 900 point gain since the festering boil took office. Or about 2% in 10 months.
And the bottom is a long way down.
