Well, as far as for me, personally...…...again, please do not think I am arguing because I am not, but "I" knew that Trump was not a slick, smooth talking politician.
He IMO has turned out to be exactly what he said he was...…"A deal maker".
He has shown us that he is a BUSINESS MAN who has actually done what he said he was going to do so the fault is not with him but US.
The difference I see is that he cannot keep his big mouth shut and his personal opinions to himself like Obama did and what we see and here from him is right out in the open.
The economy is booming.
Taxes are down.
Unemployment is down.
Personal income is up.
GDP is up to 4.2% which is unheard of.
Dow Jones has doubled.
IF He could just keep his mouth shut I have a feeling that a lot more people would like him.
The best thing IMO that could happen is for his advisors to take away his cell phone and throw it in the Potomac River.
I agree with you on all your points except the Dow Jones Index. At his inauguration the Dow Jones index stood at approximately 16,500 and as of the past few months it has been hovering around 26,000. Although it is obviously a very substantial gain it is not double.
The implications of the changes to the tax code on business, although overall positive, have created quite a few distortions in the market such that some companies have greatly benefited form the changes, but others have been seriously hindered. A good friend of mine just lost his job, along with half of the other employees of his section of a company, because of the changes in the tax code. My friend will face a great challenge in finding another job with so many people laid off in his industry.
