He’s definitely not wrong. 9 of the 10 largest point drop in history for the Dow have been under his presidency

We really just pretending like 6/10 weren't covid related and not tied to anything trump did? I mean, I think he's a dipshit just as much as anyone, but takes like these just come across as stupid. You also need to look at this list as a % to make it meaningful, otherwise pretty much every subsequent president will also dominate the list.

ETA: These drops are notable as being the single largest drops (by %) directly and wholly caused by a President's unilateral actions. That's the damning part. But I get that doesn't read as well as a twitter burn.

He blames everyone besides himself for issues, even ones he’s caused, so it’s okay for him to take some blame.

Trump ran the country during COVID, and he ran it right into the ground.

Find me a politician anywhere who has ever blamed themself for anything lol. We're talking about the markets, the markets recovered to pre pandemic levels before he was even out of office. I'm not attributing that to him, nor am I attributing the drops to him. Edit: Except for this one
