Like the U.S. stock market, returns of global stocks depend on multiple factors, many of which are outside the control of any administration. Natural disasters, terrorism, political scandal or turmoil within a country, geopolitical tensions, trade policy, international relations, and the relative strength of the dollar are just a few factors.Returns in the financial markets come from a multitude of factors. The party who wins a presidential election is just one of them.

Our current mix of Republican Senate, Democratic House, and Republican President averages a 10.8% return. This combination is likely if President Trump wins reelection.

Interestingly, this combination has not occurred since Grover Cleveland in the election of 1886!, especially amidst a pandemic, recession, and presidential election.

FactCheck Who made the decision to chop off the performance of 2020? The data is available... why leave it off?

Look at start and end points for Nixon-Ford, and Bush II.

Now add in 2020!

So it always goes up no matter what?

Obama and Clinton better than trump and bush. Lol

There is a clear difference between the slow, dragging, growth in the Obama years, and the massive leap made since with Trump as President. Even in the face of a pandemic.

Now do Democrat spending.

Trump’s been in four years: your sliver of his time in office is grossly underrepresented.

Look more closely. The scale is logarithmic.

🤔 democrats do better for the economy despite Republicans thinking/saying otherwise ...

So.... it doesn’t matter who wins
