Dips happen. There were a couple huge dips during Obama, but the market always recovers. That said, the escalation to its current lofty peeks are clearly due to Trump. You can tell by just watching how the market totally stagnated under Obama sticking around 18000 aside from when it dipped and recovered, but the day after Trump won the Presidency, the market began its historic rise, and it kept on rising right up until this recent dip that it's now recovering from.  It peaked at just over 26,600 a couple weeks ago before dipping to just under 23,900 a week ago, but it's now back up over 24,600. I'm thinking it's just that the overall number is so much higher that the dips are bigger.

I think you should specify what period of time you are talking about when you say "the market totally stagnated under Obama..."   Because "under Obama" includes 8 years, which in total saw a historic rise in the stock market.  So I assume you're talking about a smaller unit of time than the  8 years of the Obama administration.
