From about JAN 2016 the market recovered and was heading up. I give Trump kudos for not messing it up.
In January 2016, the stock market recovered from what exactly?
Anyway, it wasn't heading up really. It looks like in the last 3 years, the stock market was having trouble reaching and maintaining the 18,500 mark up until Trump's victory on 11/08/2016. Until then, it was very volatile, making gains followed by almost equal losses. Yet since Trump's victory, it has been on a continuous, very steep, uphill trend, reaching the 26,000 mark in just a little over a year. See attached image below. You can't deny that.
You should be giving Trump kudos for much more than just not messing it up. His business friendly campaign promises, and the ones he has kept so far have made a huge difference for the better in the stock market.
