Eh. The graphic ignores the "Trump dead zone" since the end of 2017, as well as the doubling of the Dow in the first five years under Obama.
I wouldn't use the change in stock market averages as the metric for evaluating whether a president is successful or not. In my lifetime, the only Republican who left office with the Dow higher than when he took office was Reagan, and the only Democrat who left office with the Dow lower than when he took office was Carter.

None of the cultists have jobs that allow them to afford equities so the market has no impact on them
