Following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election, investors initially embraced the concept of 'American exceptionalism,' expecting the U.S. economy to excel. However, as Trump's trade policies and tariffs began to impact the economy negatively, U.S. stock performance lagged behind other nations.
