National correspondentBefore he ran for president, Donald Trump liked to “vlog” — record snippets of his thoughts on video that would then be published on social media. On Wednesday, celebrating the S&P 500 setting a record for the longest bull market in its history, one subject was the economy. It passed the bull market that began in 1990 and ran until 2000. There certainly has been a spike in economic confidence during his presidency, but that’s in part thanks to Republicans reversing their assessments. If Trump left office tomorrow, the bull market he celebrates will still have occurred mostly on Obama’s watch.
