Wall Street Under Trump.. 100 Days of Disappointment and Turbulent Markets

The first hundred days of President Donald Trump's second term have represented one of the worst starts Wall Street has seen since the 1970s, in stark contrast to his promises of a significant leap in the stock market.

At the beginning of the year, optimism prevailed among investors in the American markets, driven by Trump's statements about anticipated regulatory rollbacks and tax cuts aimed at stimulating economic activity.

However, this optimism quickly faded, as the markets experienced a sharp decline of 7.8% in the S&P 500 index during the period from January 20 to the close of Monday's session, due to escalating trade tensions.
