Stock Market - In Trump's first two years in office the stock market has gained about 36%. In Obama's first two years in office it gained about 33%. So, no, there is no massive Trump gain.

I'm not saying the economy hasn't been doing well, it has been. Maybe we should all refrain, however, from lining up to suck the Orange Man's cock until we take an actual look at the numbers.
Employment is strong but the jobs pay shit. The tax break for business did nothing to create higher pay.
