I've seen a much more bullish business atmosphere in the past year and a half. The first six months were everybody holding their breath, but after people absorbed that Trump was not a doomsday event, bullish sentiment has surged. Is it sustainable? I don't know. Beyond my pay grade. But it is interesting that, despite all the cycle indicators that traditionally suggest we've peaked and are about to roll over, we haven't done so yet.

Like I said, I'm baffled. But what I thought would be economically awful has proven to be pretty good. YMMV, of course, depending on what you do and where you do it.

As to the rest of his Presidency, the degradation of the office, and the general ugliness of things, all criticisms of Trump hold true.
