Like anything related to President Donald Trump, numbers rise.
Whether it is the number of Democrats who dislike him or the continued number of loyal followers, the Dow Jones Industrial Average also “surged 1,508.05 points, or 3.57, to a record close of 43 729, 93” on the day of his reelection, according to CNBC.
Then Wednesday came, with the Dow closing at an all-time high of 43,988,99. Those numbers solidify just how much politics and money are related. Take, for example, Tesla’s rising 14%, which worked out well for owner Elon Musk, a notable friend of the elected president.
The all-time high is par for the course regarding Trump’s influence, with the New York Post pointing out that “expectations for lower corporate taxes and deregulation under Trump have helped push the benchmark S&P index and the Dow to intraday record highs for the three straight sessions.”
A week after its first report, CNBC continues touting Trump’s impact: “The stock market could enjoy a bigger boost from President-elect Donald Trump than any previous administration thanks to his pro-business policies.”

It’s not just CNBC pumping out stories on stocks and President Trump. An Oklahoma asset manager calls the last four days on Wall Street “a wild ride” in this Reuter’s report.
BBC leads a report, saying, “US shares hit record highs on Wall Street, and the dollar posted its biggest gain in eight years as Donald Trump was re-elected to the White House in a historic win.”
While everyone is talking about trading and Trump, the president chimed in on Nov. 8 using Truth Social to note that he is not selling any Trump Media & Technology Group shares.
Keeping up with Trump and the ticker will be challenging for any trader, with so many changes in the federal administration and policy. However, Investopedia’s report on the presidential election cycle and trading notes some changes remain the same due to the Stock Trader’s Almanac.
“According to this theory, U.S. stock markets perform relatively weaker in the first two years of a term, then returns spike and peak in the third year, before falling off to various extents in the fourth and final year. The cycle begins again at the start of the next presidential term,” the Oct. 31 report reads.
While the Stock Trader’s Almanac may be accurate, under President Trump’s Administration, anything can change at any time. But for now, Wall Street is riding the wave.
