The gigantic spike at the end of Obama’s term had absolutely nothing to do with Obama. That was all Trump and to pretend otherwise is a out and out lie

Nope. From the article: "...we compared the same periods for both presidents: from inauguration on January 20 to Oct. 31 in their third year of office.

At first I thought you were right, but then I noticed that the timelines only go through Day 700.

What's odd is that Oct. 31, 2019 (Trump's third year in office) is Day 1,014, about a full year after the Day 700 shown. 700 days is not even two full years in office. Something doesn't add up for these charts - they are missing 314 days of Year 3.

Because there was a nice drop at the end of last year, they could use to fudge the numbers

year 1 was 20%+, year two was -5% due to a late year drop, year three is around 20% so far... They are playing games.

If Trump doesn’t get credit for November 9th -Jan 20 2016 then it’s bogus. The markets look ahead

Oops, they are reporting TRADING days, not CALENDAR days. So 700 is correct.

My apologies on that.
