I realize you aren't OP but I do understand the "making America great again" getting him votes by saying he's bringing back jobs. However, that's a political response that deflects from the real issues at hand.
What I am curious about is the quantitative easing we witnessed due to the 2008 Financial & Housing crisis and how that is being handled both in the economy and the governments around the world. The Fed interest rate is still at a historic low having just recently bumped to 1.5% [1]. For instance one of the view points I've heard is that Trump is trying to deregulate as much as possible in order to avoid the economy crashing. Maybe that a makes a correction from QE worse in the future. Maybe Trump is indeed just trying to siphon as much money/tax breaks as possible but I'm curious about the macro economics currently in play from different world viewpoints.
