RE:Public service announcementMinor mistake.... the data range for the graphs goes all the way back to 1986. Not 1996 as originally posted. Also, here's a view of Republican first year presidencies that excludes Trump 2017.

I wasn't going to post, however decided why not. Although it's hardly conclusive, for this year I'm sharing graphs of what (on average) occurs during the first year of a Democrat and Republican presidency. For added contrast, I've also included what occurred the first year Trump took office.
My sense is there's a good chance he comes out the gate in similar fashion with guns blazing to kickstart the US economy. Be careful with your buy orders between now and inaugeration day, January 20, 2025.
