Will There Be a Stock Market Crash Under President Donald Trump? A New Downside Catalyst Just Entered the Picture.
Overview
Statistically, Wall Street has enjoyed having President Donald Trump in the White House. During his first term, the preeminent Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI), benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and tech-driven Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) soared 57%, 70%, and 142%, respectively.
Even with two separate swoons since the start of Trump's second term (the tariff tantrum and Iran war pullback), we're witnessing an encore performance from equities. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq have rallied 17%, 26%, and 37%, respectively, in Trump's second term (through the end of May 2026).
