DJIA was at 7,949 when Obama took office.
DJIA was at 11,573 on December 23, 2010.
That's an increase of 3,624 on a base of 7949, up 46%
There was NO government shutdown during that period of time.
Now:
DJIA was at 19,827 when trump took office.
DJIA was at 22,859 on December 23, 2018.
That's an increase of 3,032 on a base of 19,827, up 15%
We're now in the midst of a third government shutdown during that period of time (actually the third time in the last 11 months)
Thanks Obama!
