it isn’t clear how much control the president has over stocks. If one uses the Dow Jones to grade presidents, then it appears that Obama was probably the greatest president ever. Factors to consider are the value of the dollar ( a weak dollar makes companies with large non-US deals look bigger), and low interest rates (controlled by the Fed, and indicative of a weak economy).
