President Donald Trump often cites the stock market as a scorecard of his policies. Here’s how the S&P 500 performed under each president from Reagan to Trump.

Through the end of February 2019, stocks are up about 23% since Trump’s inauguration. CNN Business will update this tracker at the end of each month.President Ronald Reagan’s first four years in the White House weren’t particularly lucrative for Wall Street., the economy stumbled into a brief recession in July 1981. Unemployment spiked to nearly 11%.

But then the savings-and-loan crisis and Gulf War struck. Oil prices more than doubled after Iraq invaded Kuwait. Growth slowed, and the American economy slipped into a mild recession in July 1990. GDP topped 4% in five of Clinton’s eight years in the White House. Inflation remained stable. Unemployment dipped below 4%. And the United States enjoyed the longest period of uninterrupted economic growth in modern history.

Oh boy, we really have something to look forward to while your group is going forward. I think your girls have been too forward and fresh messing up our noses and families. Some us said NO to drugs! And your straightnosed girls said YES.

The economy has never been stronger!!c Trump2020Landslide

Wall Street is a socialist system for the rich and this President has shown they don't have the same major effect for them to make money/It's only affected by 10 Billionaires when they make moves to drive prices up and down/Not by market condition much anymore/

The Economy isn’t that Good, Gas & Electricity & Other Basic Necessities Are Skyrocketing!

Don’t care🤷🏽‍♀️🧟‍♂️😳

Numbers out of context to make the Dems look good...great propaganda

Can we acknowledge that stock performance is not an adequate measure of a stable and strong economy?

Deceiving Mathematics. The numbers are relative. Obama “growth” was 150% and Trump has 23% but the stock market is breaking new records with Trump.

Won't view.. Fake news and it will look for the worst month and make it great news.

Bill's last year's we had a Republican house. GWB we had a Democrat house Obama's last year's we had a republican house. We need balance to work together. Like Clinton did. Democrats won't work with Trump. He is not a good ole boy. He is not a Politican.

Meaningless comparison from the poorly educated CNN.

Pseudoscientific study from Fake News CNN.

Deception, lies, all part and parcel of CNN. Major stocks in the stock market under Trump since Nov 2016: NASDAQ: 5321 to 7595 (70%), Dow Jones 18867 to 26026 (72%), S&P 2181 to 2803 (77%), etc. what CNN also neglects to mention is how each democrat president saw greater growth,

STOCKS HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THE HIGH 20S EVER BEFORE LIKE THEY ARE NOW WITH A PRESIDENT UNDER SIEGE FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT AND THE MEDIA. WE HAVE HAD COUNTLESS SELL OFFS AND THE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE HAS BEEN GREAT FOR BOTH INVESTORS AND MARKETS. GREAT CORRESPONDENCE INDEED. 1 TRUMP!

Best US economy ever under Trump.
