I cannot remember a time when the world markets were so volatile. Even in major recessions the volatility was less than it has been for the past 12 months. Trump seems to cause a rise/fall every time he tweets. It seems insane that one person can have this type of power. I find it hard to believe that US business interests are in favor of this administration.

They are in favor of whatever makes them money. Tax law? You betcha.

There is no concept of what that does overall to the economy. There is no concept of a strong middle class able to spend money or own houses or what have you…you know, basic economic concepts. It’s all ME and NOW and screw everything else.
