The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

Overall real wage stagnation from weak demand, plus NMW, plus disappointing growth in higher-productivity sectors.
Treasury modelling had assumed post-2012 graduates would continue to enjoy the wage premiums that pre-2012 graduates enjoyed.
This didn't happen. Grad wages were lower, and so were repayments.
By 2021, the government expected back just 46p of every £1 repaid.
