Trump's tax rates went into effect January 1st 2018, since then the DOW is down almost 10%.

You know if it were up he'd be getting credit for his tax cuts causing the surge. His tax cuts did nothing for investors as this is a terrible year in every sector for investing.

up 150 pts or so. It gradually pulled back. I suspect the continued lack of resolution for a CR is the culprit, as well as perceived geopolitical instability, like having a stressed-out, narcissistic crazy fucking moron for a prez.

In protest of trump ,and won't spend until he's out of office. The American people have more than enough power to pressure him out of office for his treasonous corruption , and criminal acts against OUR country. He can't make us spend.
