Stock market will go up regardless of the president, in modern history it went up huge under Clinton, went up big under Obama, went up under Trump's first term, went up again under Biden's term. George W. Bush is like the only president where the stock market didn't rise during their term, the triple whammy of the dot com bubble crash (2000), to a lesser extent 9/11 (2001), and to a greater extent the Housing market meltdown of 2008 will do that.
There's always buying pressure on stocks that will push the price up too, people contribute index funds to their 401k every month, that means people are buying stocks no matter what.
Business is business, people don't stop buying/consuming products because one person is president versus someone else. People still go to Starbucks, McDonalds, whatever, parents still have to buy their kids back to school clothes, people still indulge in things like iPhones and game consoles and buying new cars. You still have to pay for cable and internet and people still need to fly places and go on vacation etc. etc. etc. If a president is interfering with that, they will not be in office very long.
