Peter, while the stock market is often pointed at (falsely) as an indicator of
American quality of life, it’s not hard to notice that Trump has not
mentioned the market or gas prices in the past handful of weeks.

The jobs creations (254K in the last month) and unemployment (3.4%) numbers are being ignored as well.

Color me shocked.

It’s sure strange how Trump brags about the stock market hitting a record high when he was President, but doesn’t mention that record has been broken (repeatedly) by Biden.

But it is certainly something a President has little control over, and should not accept praise or blame for.  Similar to the rate of inflation and interest rates and gas prices, international events influence these numbers more than any President can.

Years ago I saw a Twitter post that referred to it as a graph of rich people's feelings. I can't view it any other way since then.
