If we're going down that path, I find it a strange that the stock market went to shit the same month Trump announced he was running for president [0] - Two can play the correlation is causation game. And even though the market eventually returned to something we might consider normal, it "... was still below the annualized returns of Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama" [1].
