Are Stocks Going to Crash if Donald Trump Wins and Republicans Control Congress? Here's What History Says About Stock Market Returns When Republicans Win.
==========

During Donald Trump's presidency, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite respectively rose by 57%, 70%, and 142%. A unified Republican Congress with Trump as president would face challenges related to tax reforms and potential tariffs on Chinese goods. However, macroeconomic headwinds, such as the decline in U.S. M2 money supply and pricey stock valuations, could pose a greater threat to the economy and stocks. Despite these challenges, historical data shows that the stock market has performed well regardless of which party controls the presidency and Congress. The S&P 500 averaged a 12.9% return during eight years of Republican control, compared to a 10.5% average return under 23 years of Democratic control. The U.S. economy steadily expands over time, and bull markets tend to last longer than bear markets, indicating that patient investors can grow their wealth regardless of the election outcome.
