Brandon entering the WH with little room left for stocks to go up was scary -- a very different scenario from Obama entering the WH after the S&P 500 had dropped 50% and had nowhere to go but up.
IMHO Trump doesn't get enough credit for keeping up a high stock market he inherited. The bull market was already 12 years old when he entered the WH; it seemed to have more room for going down than up. Yet he kept it going strong until the china virus. And even with the market tanking bigly in 2020 it rebounded almost as quickly so that 2020 was a net positive.
Trump will never get credit for anything. His personality unfortunately will drown out his great achievements.
