Many people were expecting another market downturn at around the time Trump was elected - not because of Trump but because it was 8 years since the last one. The market rallied instead and now Trump has a buffer.
The market today could fall by as much as it did in 2008, and it would still be at about the same level as it was when Trump was elected.
