I can't believe how lucky Trump is.
Inheriting the country when things are looking down right amazing economically.
I do strongly believe that the US would have been doing great irrespective of the person in power. (I strongly dislike Trump as a person, and do have strong bias here. I also do kind-of believe that he is not very bright)
But, should there be reason to believe that America's economic prosperity is due to the Trump admin, I would love to be enlightened on the matter.
- hokumguru 8y agoI think that faith in the United State's economy has gone up as our administration, for better or for worse, has taken a hardline stance on "America First". Economies are all about skepticism and when the strongest economy in the world decides to make policy in strengthening its position - well, it certainly doesn't hurt. It's especially helpful that he had a decent starting point to begin with.
- screye 8y agoI am genuinely interested in this. I can't help it myself. Even if I didn't know Donald Trump existed, he is the poster boy of the kind person I would utterly dislike. So, it is very difficult for me to evaluate his presidency through an objective lens. I am human after all. It doesn't help that polarization in media means, he is portrayed either as a do-no-wrong messiah or Satan himself. Do you know of any relatively objective report that talks about his policies and bills he has passed (that would have been opposed by a democratic president), and their effects ? I know a few good (what I believe to be) objective and research driven sources, but all of them are very critical of Trump. I would really appreciate being directed towards a piece that talks about his achievements as well (without putting him on a pedestal)
