- The stock market under Trump has seen one of its worst performances on record in the first 100 days of a U.S. presidency. It’s the worst start to a year since Gerald Ford took over for Richard Nixon 50 years ago, and the fifth-worst performance in the equity markets over nearly a century—a time period that includes the Great Depression, major wars, and the stagflationary 1970s.
President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in the White House have been historically bad for the stock market.
