In February 2020, as fears surrounding the outbreak of a new coronavirus and a potential pandemic triggered the worst one-day drop in U.S. stocks since 2011, a chart began circulating via social media purportedly showing the “8 Largest Dow Jones Drops in American History.”
What was notable about the chart was that all of the listed stock market drops had supposedly occurred during the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump:
The chart was accurate as far as it went, replicating information from the Wikipedia “List of largest daily changes in the Dow Jones Industrial Average” page about the greatest single-day drops in the Dow:
However, this chart only displayed net (or absolute) losses in the Dow, and obviously a drop of 1,000 points when the average stands at 25,000 is far less severe than a drop of 1,000 points when the average stands at only 5,000.
As we detailed in another article, a chart of the largest single-day percentage (or relative) changes in the Dow shows that none of the top 10 single-day percentage drops in that stock index has occurred during the Trump administration:
Biggest one-day percentage stock index losses
| Date | One-day % loss | President |
| Oct. 19, 1987 | 22.6% | Ronald Reagan |
| Oct. 28, 1929 | 12.8% | Herbert Hoover |
| Oct. 29, 1929 | 11.7% | Herbert Hoover |
| Nov. 6, 1929 | 9.9% | Herbert Hoover |
| Dec. 18, 1899 | 8.7% | William McKinley |
| Aug. 12, 1932 | 8.4% | Herbert Hoover |
| March 14, 1907 | 8.3% | Theodore Roosevelt |
| Oct. 26, 1987 | 8.0% | Ronald Reagan |
| Oct. 15, 2008 | 7.9% | George W. Bush |
| July 21, 1933 | 7.8% | Franklin D. Roosevelt |

The largest single-day percentage drop in the Dow took place on Oct. 19, 1987 — a day commonly known as Black Monday — when the Dow fell 508 points for a loss of 22.6% of its value.
