This week marks the one-year anniversary of Trump’s re-election — so what has happened in the markets since then?

After Trump’s victory last year, $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ surged 70% and $CME Bitcoin - main 2511(BTCmain)$ broke above $100,000.

But one year later, $S&P 500(.SPX)$ is up only 0.13% year-to-date, Bitcoin has fallen below $100,000, returning to where it started, and Tesla, during the Musk-Trump crisis mid-year once has retraced to gap-up level last year.

Meanwhile, US stocks have broadly underperformed compared to other markets, and Trump’s public approval rating has also fallen sharply.

Since Trump’s second presidential win, benchmark indices in China, Europe, and Canada (in USD terms) have all outperformed the S&P 500.

Tariff and Taco become the new normal of 2025.

The MSCI ex-U.S. Index now holds its widest lead over Wall Street since 2009. Semiconductor giants like TSMC, Samsung Electronics, and Tokyo Electron have powered global market gains.

Korea’s KOSPI Index jumped 55% over the past year, leading Asia and underscoring Korea’s rise as a key AI investment hub. Economic indicators are improving, inflation is under control, and the ECB has cut rates to 2%, far below U.S. levels.

A look back at Trump’s first term (2016–2020): super bull run

Shortly after the 2016 election, Trump’s proposed tax cuts and deregulation policies triggered a sharp rally in U.S. equities, Treasury yields, and the dollar.
From Election Day to Inauguration Day, the S&P 500 rose 6%.

Then came a massive bull market in 2017 — corporate profits surged and optimism over tax cuts fueled a 30% market rally with virtually no pullback. After the tax cuts were enacted, stocks continued to climb, and financials jumped 50%, benefiting from the deregulation wave. Even when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the market recovered quickly thanks to swift government intervention. Overall, Trump’s first term was extremely positive for investors and the stock market.

    “Stupidity” is the word to mark President Donald Trump’s one-year anniversary. Those who voted for him now feel stupid. His election promises are not delivered and MAGA is dead. Inflation remains hard to crack and the government is still in its longest shut down. Many federal employees lost their jobs and millions of Americans have their food assistance cut off, while the President demolished the East Wing of White House to build a $300m ballroom. The president has clearly lost touch with the common sense and has shown confident ignorance. He continuously back track his own policies and claims that he has stopped 8 wars. His tariffs diplomacy have had negative impact. The stock market was over driven by his policies and is now so volatile and heading to crashes. US stocks have broadly underperformed compared to other markets such as China, Europe, and Canada. Hopefully he can revive the U.S. stock market and improve American’s lives.

    🌟🌟🌟One word to describe Trump 2.0: UNPOPULAR.  This is a deceptively simple word, yet emotionally loaded.  Unpopular does not just describe approval ratings.  Unpopular evokes isolation, rejection and the erosion of public trust.

    Just 1 year into his 2nd term, approval ratings for Trump have cratered, polling near historic lows.

    The S&P500 lags behind China   Europe, Canada and even Singapore, defying Trump's promise of American market supremacy.

    The 2025 government shutdown   now the longest ever in record, has left scars on both the economy especially on low income Americans, stripping away vital lifelines like food aid, healthcare subsidies and housing support - turning every day survival into a crisis.

    This isn't just political fatigue.  It is emotional rejection.  The base may remain but the broader public has turned away.

    Trump 2.0 feels less than a triumphant return and more like a solitary reign.

    Manipulation.
    It seems to almost point to insider trading.
    There always is someone who makes a huge profit from his meddlings, as if he does it to make quick buck.
    Meanwhile people have to fight for the scraps. I guess to most average people, it is some action and excitement, but do we really need to be living in such a roller coaster... life is hard enough as it is

    If I had to use one word for Trump 2.0, it would be “polarized.” The year has been split — AI and semiconductors booming abroad while U.S. markets stagnate under trade and policy uncertainty. Capital is flowing toward Asia and Europe, showing how investors now see better growth outside America.

    Compared to his first presidency, this term’s market reaction feels muted. The early rally faded quickly as tariffs and shifting tax policies hurt confidence. Even Tesla got dragged into the Musk-Trump drama, and Bitcoin’s retreat shows how uncertain investors are about the U.S. outlook.

    Still, I believe Trump will try to lift markets again to regain support. Deregulation and tax relief may help banks and Wall Street short term, but without steadier policies, the era of effortless “Trump rallies” may be over.

    chaotic!
    Who can predict his next move?
    He will likely try to push the stock market higher as winning the economy seems to be a key focus of his. But perhaps any proposed benefits to the financial sector will be short term highs but end up with negative long term outcomes. Buffet commented recently about concerns of the US dollar value falling long term.
