Optimists are right to be concerned about the US economy’s trajectory under President Donald Trump. Despite a resilient economy, data suggests a high likelihood of recession and stock market decline during his second term. Historically, Republican presidents have overseen recessions, and the S&P 500’s valuation is at an all-time high, making it difficult for stocks to withstand a downturn. However, history also shows that time is investors’ greatest ally, with the majority of rolling 20-year periods generating positive total returns since 1900.
