The stock market’s lackluster performance under Trump only ranks ahead of the starts of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s terms in 1933 and 1937, during the depths of the Great Depression. It also outstrips both Ford and the start of Nixon’s second term in 1973, when the U.S. confronted another economic crisis in the form of stagflation.

U.S. stocks closed out Donald Trump’s first 100 days back in the Oval Office on a sour note, with the president’s trade policies taking the blame for derailing a thriving market and stoking fears the world’s largest economy could slip toward recession.

Donald Trump promised Americans a "boom like no other" if they elected him president. The action certainly has been explosive.
