Donald Trump promised Americans a “boom like no other” if they elected him president. But based on the stock market’s performance during his first 100 days in office, it depends on what you mean by “boom.”

The action certainly has been explosive — just not in the way investors were hoping. By April 30, Trump will have closed out his first 100 days in office. Despite last week’s rally, the S&P 500 Index is down about 8% since his inauguration and on track for its worst run during a president’s first 100 days since Gerald Ford in 1974, following Richard Nixon’s resignation. 

It’s a U-turn few on Wall Street saw coming after two straight years of over 20% gains and what was expected to be a pro-growth agenda. Instead, markets swung wildly as Trump slapped tariffs on basically every country where US companies operate — and then suspended some, carved out exceptions for certain industries, and ratcheted up the trade war with China.

Another thrilling episode of Grifticles’ Copy-Paste Chronicles:

You dump another Bloomberg article without a single original thought attached, like it’s supposed to do the arguing for you.
It's less “analysis” and more “Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+RunAway.” Here’s the question you’ll dodge (probably before you even finish reading it):

Since you're clearly capable of copying headlines, can you explain—in your own words—how Trump's tariff strategy directly caused the S&P decline versus other global factors like Fed policy or international supply chain instability?

No links.
No "ask me why."
No reposted quotes from 2018. Just an actual answer. You know—something Socrates might've expected from a real gadfly... not a Dollar Store version. Clock's ticking, Grifticles.
