re: #236 The Vicious Babushka

Yes, Trump is taking credit erroneously.

But that graph has it’s own propagandistic qualities:

1) it uses a logarithmic scale for the y-axis. Now, that is probably a good choice for important analyses, but it does make the later changes seem to be less. But the casual viewer of that is probably not aware that it makes the recent change in the DJIA look different than changes 9 years ago.

2) the x-axis stops the actual graph now several weeks short of where we are today.
