Then-candidate Trump prevailed in the 2016 presidential election in no small part thanks to a sluggish economy and millions of workers who felt left behind by rampant cronyism and short-sighted trade deals.
Since his inauguration, it’s clear 2017 has been the year the American people put the lingering effects of the recession behind them. The “Trump Effect” has resulted in:
- Soaring economic optimism. The CNBC All-American Economic Survey found that for the first time in a decade, more than half of all respondents gave the economy good or excellent marks!
- A 17-year-high in the consumer confidence index.
- The Dow Jones Industrial Average is having its best year in its 121-year history – creating $5 trillion in new wealth.
- The President’s reforms, executive orders, and even his rhetoric has compelled major corporations to reinvest billions in American facilitates, infrastructure, and labor. Fortune 500 companies that have announced massive investments in America include Exxon Mobil Corp., Apple, General Motors, Toyota, Hyundai-Kia, Bayer AG, and LG Electronics. Businesses have created 1.5 million new jobs alone.
