Why Trump won in 2016 and 2024…

I think a big factor is pointed out in the chart relationship of the Nasdaq 100 versus the Russell 2000. The monopolistic big tech companies have gotten a high percentage of the gains. That doesn’t sit well with hard working Americans sitting in the middle of all this. They are either mad or upset.

Here is the relationship chart from 1988 forward. First, we see the run-up into 2000, then the decline into the 2002-2006 period. And then the funny money started coming in, sourced by Congress, the Administrations, and the Fed. The never ending bubble started there. This will continue into the 2028 election. Which ever Party shows a plan to end this, will win. Trump said in 2016 that he would end it, he did not, he accelerated it, especially since 2024.
