The deception of Trump's stock market

Looking at this chart of the Trump years DJIA you will see the biggest rise, 50% came in the first year while we were still in Obama's Economy. Trump's signature and pretty much only Economic legislation, his massive tax cut, did not happen until the end of 2017 and did not take effect until 2018. The remaining 3 years saw a 30% growth in total. Not bad, but not great either. Obama did better.
