Yeah -- Trump has done nothing for the economy since the tax cuts and the market is good anyways -- wonder why -- oh wait -- has nothing to do with the President's policies or lack thereof.
Speaking for myself my portfolio just about doubled in the last 3 years. I don't give Trump the credit for that. My Apple stock is through the roof as is my Homedepot and a few others.
Why would you, when Apple stock was worth $1.00 in 2002, and now its $300. Give Apple some credit for their success.
The stock market is not the economy - only about half of Americans are invested in the stock market with over 80% of stock market wealth held by only 10% of population.
The other half of Americans need to get their act together.
"US life expectancy has not kept pace with that of other wealthy countries and is now decreasing.

Between 1959 and 2016, US life expectancy increased from 69.9 years to 78.9 years but declined for 3 consecutive years after 2014."

Ah...okay ? This is a thread about the stock market, maybe you should start one about mental health ?

"Buyback authorizations have spiked, but capex growth has been more muted
Since the passage, however, concerns about the economy’s prospects have grown rather than eased, and rather than spurring an acceleration in economic growth or hiring, many economic indicators have shown signs of slowing or stalling."
It would be great if people did do some critical thinking ... while corporations are doing great --- the rest of the people, not so much.

Sorry, I don't share your negativity. Here in the metro Detroit area things seem to be going great. We've had some new plants being built , which is a huge boon to our local economy. I see more and more commercial and residential construction happening. Everyone I know is employed, and quite a few people are even working overtime. The people I know in sales are doing good. Every business owner I know is doing great, the only complaint being they have a hard time finding help. My wife is in the wealth management industry and the past few years have been great, with this one looking to be better than the last. We both got raises this year and our home value has gone up enough , and the rates being low, we decided to buy another and move.
Again, it's pretty hard to be negative.
