Is a Stock Market Crash Likely Under President Donald Trump? History Weighs In With an Answer Wall Street May Not Like.
The Trump bull market may be running on borrowed time.
The stock market has historically thrived during Donald Trump's tenure, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite achieving higher annualized returns than under many other presidents since the 1890s. While organic catalysts such as advancements in artificial intelligence have contributed to the market's growth, Wall Street's rally has also been shaped by Trump's policies.
One notable example is the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed into law in December 2017, which permanently lowered the peak marginal corporate income tax rate to 21%. This led to increased corporate buyback activity from S&P 500 companies. However, the Trump bull market may be nearing its end.
