Of course, since President Trump has pegged the success of his Presidency on the rise and fall of the markets

What is it about the words "of course", that signals that the next statement is untrue?

Every president will use the stock market doing well to crow about. Even Jimmy Carter did that.

Trump is staking his presidency on the Wall, and making America Great Again, which includes low unemployment, rebuilding the U.S. manufacturing base, sanity in social policy and an America First foreign policy.

Stock markets are part of it, but only a part. Watch his speeches. Oh sure, he'll celebrate the market going up. He'll celebrate jobs more.

Trump is supporting Main Street over Wall Street. It is economic nationalism versus globalism. Trump is placing the interests of American workers over the cheap labor express and the moving of our manufacturing out of the country. The US became the world’s most powerful economy during times of high tariffs to protect our manufacturing base. We don’t have fair and reciprocal trade now.
