Are we discussing your personal investment strategy, though, or the general market? Because the numbers say that for the general market, the Obama years were quite a bit better than the Bush years for someone like me, who basically puts money in index funds and such, and leaves it there. (For me, the extra money I might make by being more active isn't worth the time & aggravation.)

This year I am taking another chance by leaving money in, hopefully everyone will still be riding that Trump high through the new year and not sell or hopefully some bubble isn't going to pop.
Yeah, I figure it's going to crash before too long - indeed, I'm rather surprised it hasn't. But it'll recover sooner or later.
