History Says There Are $8.3 Trillion Reasons the Trump Bull Market Is on Thin Ice

Published September 7, 2026 · Category: Finance

Overview

Although the stock market has advanced under most presidents, the annualized returns of the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI), benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC), and innovation-driven Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) are higher with President Donald Trump in the White House than under most other presidents.

During Trump's first term, the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite gained 57%, 70%, and 142%, respectively. His second, non-consecutive term has delivered an encore performance, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq rallying 22%, 28%, and 34% through the closing bell on Sept. 2.
