A lot of CEO's have stepped down from their positions recently, including Jeff Bezos of Amazon.

The CEOs of the US disagree with you.

Trump was not president 17 years ago.

Yeah, let’s highlight certain info while leaving out other details.

I am almost certain that CEO’s were asked what they think will occur this year compared with the very bottom economic levels we have gone through due to the pandemic shutdowns so of course there’s going to be growth.

It isn’t necessarily optimism but more like, hey we are at the bottom so there’s no really place to go from here except up.

We don't know what Trump or Biden has done for the economy. It takes 3-4 years for a President's policy to impact the economy long term. Obama benefited Bush's economic comeback and Trump benefited from Obama's policies. We will see in the coming years how Trump's policies will fare.

Generally, those as liberal as Trump don't fare well for the economy and then adding the increased spending and low interest rates during his term, we're likely in for a bumpy ride. Economics 101.

We can only hope that Biden can keep the impact of Trump's disaster to a minimum, but I, personally, do not have much faith in Biden.

Biden's presidency has been near perfect and everything is coming up roses. Who could have thought so much would be accomplished in a single month?
