X post by Republicans against Trump (@RpublicansTrump ), posted 18 hours ago, featuring a verification badge. The text reads, "'The golden age of America has only just begun'" in quotation marks, followed by a graph titled "S&P 500 Since the Election." The graph, sourced from LSEG Data & Analytics and credited to The New York Times, shows the S&P 500 index performance from Election Day through March 2025. The index starts at approximately 5,800 on Election Day, rises to a peak above 6,200 in early 2025, and then declines sharply to around 5,500, marking a -10.1% drop from the peak.
