Question, if the economy stays red hot, does Trump pull a Reagan and win 49 or 50 states in the 2020 election. People vote with their pocket books, it's the economy stupid.
I say yes.
I say yes.
DOW HITS 24,000- THANK YOU TRUMP

The economy is doing well. If only he'd stop doing stupid things to draw attention away from the good part. That is a real shame!
For most folks, the market and the Economy are not related. It’s good for those of us invested, irrelevant to those that aren’t.
True. "Trump" up the economy to many of those rural W Virginia, Ohio, Penn voters and you will get a much different reaction. I really don't see many companies investing in wage growth or blue collar jobs returning, as he promised. Maybe if Trickle down actually works then they will get some benefit too.
To say their not related is totally false. But there is also losers in every economy.
Get the tax plan passed, reducing the corporate tax (we really should have zero corporate tax), and you'll see economic growth explode for years.
Freeing up money for manufacturing to invest in this country will be an absolute boon to the economy.
To bad there's apparently not enough support for the Fair Tax.
Too many members of Congress want to use the tax structure to take care of their buddies.
If the Fair Tax passed, we'd see the US economy go far past any economy in the world, and it wouldn't take long.

To a degree, that's true.
But under socialism and communism, all except the top couple of percent lose, and most lose BIG.
It's a rhetorical question, but who the hell doesn't have at least a little bit of money in the market? Whether it be an IRA, 401k, weed stock, etc. EVERYONE has money in the market these days, and if you don't, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. Gotta have skin in the game to vote.
Without getting into opinion, if the Democrats can run a young outsider candidate, it seems unlikely right now that Trump will win reelection. If the democrats run Kerry/Hillary/etc, they probably lose.
Again, not to get into my personal feelings or opinion, but someone like Cory Booker would be hard to beat. Thinking about things like turnout, etc.
Calling Ameriprise at lunch; need to revise “early” retirement date for the model.
guessing that when the market crashes it somehow won't be trump's fault, probably the dems holding up bills even though the gop controls congress
I was just talking about our economy. For example, when the market crashed in 2008, the economy went with it. To say there is no relationship is retarded.
I'm curious as to what policies Trump has implemented that people believe have resulted in this strong market.
"It's the economy, stupid."
A famous line because the state of the economy is almost the main factor that determines election results, especially when an incumbent president is running. You can debate dozens of issues, but the general state of the economy swings large chunks of votes.
Which policies? And how have they resulted in the expansion? What sorts of investments have been made?
The biggest thing Trump has done so far is de-regulate not add policy. Sometimes, adding policies hamper growth or cause more hurdles to overcome. This is especially true for small-to-Middle size businesses who don’t have as much technical ability to maneuver around legislation.
Probably 30% of the country, more than half probably voted for Trump.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m blessed and liking the market, just pointing out that to a lot of folks stable hours and increasing wages are the economy, not shares of QQQ or Apple. We still aren’t seeing increasing wages.
If the economy is rolling, and it Probaly will be, the voters won't take a chance on a young politician. Obama was young and we had the slowest recovery ever, because his policies were generally hostile to business. That meant people's incomes weren't even keeping up with inflation.
Dozens of executive actions have been pro-business and pro-jobs. I am among those that think Trump's crazy tweeting and communication is at least in part deliberate to distract media and liberals from knowing what he is actually doing to change government and the economy. His craziness becomes the media message and most completely miss what he is actually doing- it isn't reported. Major relief of oppressive government regulations via executive actions and rolling back Obama damage. Backing out of horrible trade agreements and climate accords has helped the economy in ways hard to measure.
Just the idea of a pro-business president has enhanced the psychology and investing of the business world at large.
Apparently it is, because not a single poster has given me a specific answer. But yay for platitudes and identity politics!
It is important to consider, while businesses like the Trump administration non-intervention approach to regulation, they also really like stability, which Trump is not good for at the moment. Stock market high's aren't really a good way to judge presidential success though. Unless you really think Bill Clinton was an amazing president.
The stock market was the only positive for Obama. Wages were so stagnant due to his anti business policies and high taxes on business, that the average American couldn't afford to save money like they used to or even to afford a decent vacation. Business's left Americas shores,for a more tax friendly environment, and I don't blame them.
Don’t like Trump but LOVE the policies he is pushing
USA is heading for a Golden Age if he stays in office 8 years
Wild card is NK which absolutely must be dealt with after the failure of Clinton. Then Bush
Then the total failure of foreign policy under Obama.
The can kicking is over and Trump is been handed the problem due to the incompetence of the last three presidential morons
Pray to God we find a workable solution as it will be a swift nasty bloody war with horrible loss of life
NK loses in the war but we all lose if it happens

Literally hundreds of regulations have been reduced or removed. Some I agree with some I don’t. But every regulation creates an obstacle to some business. And the reduction or removal of that regulation benefits that business.
Not true at all. Chaos and uncertainty, along with little-to-no analysis on what effect his proposals will have on the economy have businesses scared.
This tax bill is causing major anxiety because he and his team have no idea how the economy works and won't take the time to consult those who are smarter.
I believe China will overthrow NK if they think war is imminent. They don’t want US bases right off their border.
The crisis and market low was due to some laws enacted by the Dems and signed by the Fake Republican Bush
After the bloodbath a recovery was expected
Stocks were a screaming bargain. Bought some
Apparently the Fortune 50 people I talk to don’t share your thinking along with numerous small business associations
Maybe I am just talking to the wrong people
If that’s the case, the market would be dropping. Everything I’ve read, this plan is great for business and the rich (never worked for a poor guy). But screws the middle guy, like usual.
The housing crisis was related to the repeal of Glass-Steagall, via the 1999 Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act, and the late 90's mergers of the investment banks and commercial banks. Voted on by a republican congress and signed by a democratic president. No one avoids blame
