Because doing so would highlight the financial disaster that the Obama Administer created.

The DOW is up less than a percentage point for the year. It's alos down more than six percent from its high this year, back on January 26.
The DOW more than doubled during President Obama's administration without setting any one day loss records. There also wasn't any presidential neediness for recognition.
President Obama had eighty plus straight quarters of job growth.
trump's last quarter of GDP growth was reduced to 2.3%, the average of President Obama's administration.
Ten year treasury rates have been climbing since trump took office.
You're thoroughly wrong in alot of ways. But, good news! trump is going to export his incompetence to China and help them rebuild one of their employers, ZTE.
You've got all your investments in coal mines and pay phones, don't you?
After Alarmist george b:
I assume the, "b" is for, "blind anger." But you're right, I screwed it up. It's eighty months, not quarters. See? When adults make a mistake, they correct it and move on. If only there were an adult in the White House.

Give it a rest Gertrude....record highs were hit almost every week when Obama was president. A piss poor indicator of the economy. I will give kudos to him for helping the corporations with those tax cuts. Officer bonuses and shareholder stocks have went through the roof.

The Trump Deranged are looking for reasons to be in denial about the good economy. LOL
Heaven forbid we ever give Trump credit for anything. LOL

All of that was reported. What you failed to notice is that the stock market followed the same growth for the first year of the Trump presidency as it has followed for the 6 years before Trump took office. The performance of the stock market in the last few months has been bumpy and below that growth rate.
Same for jobs. The unemployment rate has been decreasing and the labor participation rate has been increasing for the last 7.5 years. The growth after Trump took office is right in line with the growth for the proceeding 6 years.

That's ridiculous. As usual. The housing credit crisis tanked the economy at the end of the Bush administration. Unemployment has declined every year since 2011. The stock market reacts to a variety of things. Tax cuts for the rich, yes. And all sorts of things that don't make life any better for 80% of Americans.

President Obama steered us through the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Unemployment dropped steadily through his presidency and was at low levels by the time he left office. What he knew -- and what Trump keeps lying about -- is that our economy has changed, so that some industries are no longer going to comprise lots of jobs.
You think coal mining jobs are going to return? If so, I've got a mine in West Virginia I'd like to sell you.
The media reports accurately on unemployment figures and on the stock market. If you don't know that, you don't read.
Not very bright, are you, dear?
