This year, the Dow opened at 24,824.
As of right now (3:52 pm) it is at 24,675.
It is the end of October, and the Dow is down. Put another way, in Trump’s first full year as President, the Dow went down for the first time in eight years.
And the DJIA is Trump’s metric about how the economy is doing.

P.S. The Dow is 226 points lower today than on December 22, 2017, the day Trump signed the #GOPTaxScam into law

Bombs sent to Democrats and CNN, the Dow Jones is lower than it was at the start of the year…. and Donald Trump is gonna go rant to some rally about Honduran women and kids who have over a month of walking before even getting close to the Southern border.
