Is The Economy Improving under Trump

Trump’s agenda is in some aspects strikingly similar to that of Ronald Regan’s who was known for his pro-growth policies.

Inflation was brought down to 3.7% and averaged 4.4% during his eight-year reign.

Regan’s massive tax cuts contributed to exponential growth. He cut taxes from 70% to 28% for the top income tax rate, and reduced corporate taxes from 48% to 34%. Could Trump’s economic Policies Propel Hated Stock Market Bull Higher

Trump’s use of the word “most” set the fringe left of the Twitter-sphere into orbit with all sorts of attacks. But the hard, cold fact for the fringe left is that the perceived improvement was so meaningful that it’s considered in statistics-speak a “substantial plurality” of people who feel better about their personal economic situations.

President Obama was an oratory rock star with skillfully delivered promises of Hope and Change. In the end, we got a whole lot of hope but very little change in our pockets.
