Well, 2,000 points in one day is different from 1,000 points in two days so I guess he's still good.

you right, no one’s ever had it drop 2,000 points before. not Sleepy Joe, no one but him has done it. but he did, and it’s great and it’s beautiful

Jesus. I just looked and he has every one of the top 8 largest daily point drops in Dow history. To be fair to him (loathingly), looking at daily point drops rather than percentage drops does more heavily favor recent presidents. And also Covid was an especially difficult event. But the fact that you have to go to #9 to finally get a Biden day is....honestly impressive.

Oh, and by the way? If you switch to daily percentage drops, he has 3 of the top 20 and Biden has none.

no deadass so many economists literally said this would happen. COVID was hell and Dump also didn’t really take charge of that until it was too late so our economy suffered. we actually did alright in the past years of building it back up

The US also had one of the best rebounds from the pandemic. Every country in the whole world had their economies hit hard by it. Conservatives would blame the meteor that killed the dinosaurs on dems if they could
