"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

The same reason it climbed after everyone on the right screamed "calamity" after the stimulus?
Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”
Friggin dishonest cherrypicking Trump freaks
The Trump tariffs are a series of tariffs imposed during the presidency of Donald Trump. In January 2018, Trump imposed tariffs on solar panels and washing machines,[1] and later the same year, he imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum.[2][3] On June 1, 2018, the United States imposed a 25% tariff on imports of steel, and a 10% tariff on aluminum, on the European Union, Canada, and Mexico.[

Corporate tax cuts have pushed stock values up, both by way of stock buy-backs and enhanced dividend expectations.
If you think of a stock price as being roughly reflective of the present value of all future anticipated dividends, then it's not hard to see how cutting corporate tax rates would push prices up. If you further simplify and picture it as just a single year's dividend (imagining a corporation that dividends out its entire after-tax revenue), and consider only marginal rates for purposes of simple calculations (the cut from 35% to 21%), then the after-tax value of a company with a $100 in revenues would go from $65 to $79. That's over a 21.5% run-up in the stock price.
Even if economic mis-management caused the pre-tax revenues to fall 10%, the dividend would go from $65 to $71.10, which is about a 9.4% stock value increase. So, clearly, simply changing the tax treatment of corporate profits can make a big difference in the value of a stock, notwithstanding underlying economic considerations. Effectively, it functions as a transfer of wealth from future earners (whose taxes on earned income will go up to pay for all this extra debt) to current stock holders (whose shares are worth more than they would have been without the tax cut).
