  • Historical Data Suggest Heightened Stock Market Crash Risk Under Trump Despite Strong Returns
    June 28, 2026, 7:19 AM EDT. Stock markets have delivered strong gains during President Donald Trump's terms, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 57% in his first term and an additional 19% since his second began.
