Short-term yes, long-term no. Tax cuts boosted stocks but companies did mostly nothing to reinvest their savings. His war on imports will have a net neutral effect on the US economy. Many will get hurt, but many will benefit. In the long-term, the growing deficit and unsustainable growth in equities will cause pain that the next president will probably be blamed for.

No one believes this but the job market was already smoldering warm in Obama's last two years. More debt in tax cuts that Trump enacted threw gasoline on said smouldering fire. Make of that what you will. I don't like either of them personally, let alone the last 6 presidents

The biggest boost was that suddenly Republicans had their guy in the White House and started feeling much more positive about the economy. If Hillary was president and the numbers were exactly the same, I guarantee you that the consensus would be that the economy was still doing mediocre, since Trumpers and Berniebros would all be disgusted.

it takes zero imagination to boost the economy for 3-4 years. Drastic state spending (lefties) or drastic tax reduction (righties) will have a similar boost in short term growth but ultimately damages the countries economy in the long term. If you don't understand that read a fucking book.

I definitely agree. He was always the better choice against Hilary. Bernie would have been a better contender because he doesn't have the personality of a moldy sponge. But the ((powers)) kicked him out.

Yep. I'm a dumbass who lost my job due to a felony conviction for drug use, but just moved in with my uncle who cashed out his 401(k) at an absolute all-time high.

And bullshit about it having done well under Obama. The economy sucked and damn sure wasn't growing. Trump has made that shit run gangbusters style.

I did well because I was the sole manager for 4 Subway restaurants and Obama made them all accept EBT (food stamps) and then gave millions of people free EBT. Who the hell wouldn't sign up to get a free Subway card from the gummint, with free $100+ refills every month? I was rolling in it until I had a car accident and like Oxy just a little too much afterward.

He was really good in self marketing. Imagine you have a game named after you 'Trump Game' or even a steak named after you 'The Trump Steak'. This is how he everytime could get investors, when something went wrong. But this shows he was really good.
Besides all what happened, just look what he has achieved. And I am not talking about how this or that maybe or maybe not have happened. He has a fucking own tower in NYC with his letters on it. He has a fucking big villa. He was fucking well known in NYC. He had is own tv show. And most important he fucking has his fucking own Boing 707. And when he was not President he landed with this big Boing 707 like a rockstar with his fucking bit letters written on it. And now? He is president. He really knows managing people. This is what you have to do. You have to motivate people, see if they are good in what they are doing and where they are good and give them the right job. In my opinion he is doing brilliant. What can a human achieve more then him in economic terms? Really? So I think the answer to the question is crystal clear.

equities are definitely a problem. I contend with the deficit point though.I used to be a "holy fuck we're fucked we are 6 gorillion dollars in debt" - but then I started reading about MMT - modern monetary theory. At first it seemed like some communistic magick. It may be still; but the basic concept which I agree with is that public debt is inconsequential (for us, not the rest of the world) and if you think about logically in real terms - what the fuck is the difference between 1 billion 1 trillion or 6 gorillion of public debt? Apparently nothing because if 1B isn't an issue and 1T wasn't an issue then what the fuck 1Q won't be an issue.

The main problem we have, which MMT agrees with, is private debt. Private debt is what can wreck us.

Public debt isn't bad. If anything, it's good, because it gives foreign countries (who buy US debt) vested interest in our survival. It's one of the reasons our trade war with China doesn't feel like that big of a war. Each side understands they need each other and is just tugging back and forth. You can thank debt for that.

What is intolerable, however, is debt outpacing GDP growth. If the rate of debt growth continues to outpace the GDP growth rate (as it currently does), that will inevitably lead to catastrophe. However, I believe managing that rate is easier than most people would think. It could probably even slightly outpace GDP growth.

The thing is, the numbers never would have been the same under Hillary. She would have hit the ground running and started a campaign of anti-business legislature, higher taxes, and all kinds of other bullshit that would have hurt the economy in ways that would make your head explode. Obama did damage, but he didn't go as far as he could have.

Look at France. The riots are over gas taxes, but they're not telling you the whole truth - the taxes are carbon taxes, and an effort to force the country into "green" technology and such that they're not prepared for.

That would be Hillary, on a lesser scale.

Democrats are anti-business. Trump is 100% pro-business, which is why the stock market went off like a rocket when he was elected.

It's a bit early to say if he's been good or bad, because believe it or not, a lot of his programs and agenda are long term. They'll take a while to show the benefits.

I know in my world, business is booming across the board, companies are hiring, and expanding. They were contracting at the end of Obama's last term, because they were fearful of a Hillary presidency. I know 3 companies who purposefully put off hiring at any level until after the election, to see which way the wind was gonna blow.

Neither of you understand what subsidies are, and what they're used for. Most of the subsidy money in the last decade was for corn, and not for food, it was for ethanol, because it was needed to blend into gasoline, as mandated.

And, we're not the only country that does it, the EU does, as does other industrialized countries.

no, the trade war has having a negative effect on the market. maybe in 2-4 more years when the trade war is worked in america's favour he'll be 'good' for the economy. but than again, that's sacrificing a lot of years of growth that may never be recovered.

in the short term his tax cut stimulus worked in a short period, but now that we're in a correction period and no more stimulus in sight we might be kind of fucked.

overall, i'd say he hasn't done terribly well so far, things may change in 2-4 years though if the tradewar goes the way he wants it to go things can get better.

Trump's trade and fiscal policies are a unique combination of problems for businesses.

The higher costs from the tariffs, the tighter labor market from the tax cuts both put downward pressure on profits. The immediate effect of the tax cuts on profits will wear off, and the short term boost only served to temporarily inflate the stock market and other asset classes as capitalists tried to invest their newfound savings and companies bought back stocks/issued higher dividends.

This profitability issue, and the issue of overacumulation, together make things that much more unstable. One the one hand, lower profits means greater default risk. On the other, overacumulation means that capital is seeking out riskier investments to keep returns up.

The tax cuts also worked to stimulate demand, but this higher consumption was not correlated with higher real incomes, so we're also seeing an increase in consumer debt which may yet prove explosive.

In short, he's exchanged a short term buz for longer term risks.

Most whites were not slave holders, and it was quite intentional on the part of the slaveholding aristocracy of the south to make the poorest whites the ones holding the whip. This wasn't an exercise in intelligence, it was an exercise in brutal social and ideological control.

And we should keep in mind, although chattel slavery is gone, wage slavery persists. Instead of owning people, the ruling class just rents them instead. A white worker didn't have any choice but to work as well, he just had hunger instead of the whip as the thing keeping him in line.

No, his economic policies are generally awful. The tariffs & trade war is by far the dumbest thing he's done, and it will have negative effects on the US economy and our geopolitical standing for many years after he leaves office. They were not needed because our economy was already doing well in 2016, they have led to job losses and factory closures, they have alienated us from our allies, they have caused unnecessary shortages of steel and caused a logistics nightmare. But Trump hates free trade (it's literally the one position he has been consistent on since the 1980's, he's flip-flopped on every other position he's ever had) and so he's going to spend the next 2-6 years shitting on our allies and fucking up our economy slowly but surely.
There's just no justification for tariffs and sparking unnecessary fights with the WTO and ripping up our multilateral trade agreements and free trade agreements. The US literally wrote the goddamn rules on free trade, our negotiators have spent decades stacking the odds in all of these agreements in our favor. The TPP was basically forcing everyone else to play by US rules and laws. All of the TPP nations knew that siding with the US is always the right move. And then Trump comes along and throws it in the bin without even listening to his advisors because he is a stubborn, senile old man. Now we're in a fight with the WTO, our own fucking creation that we designed to force free trade down the throats of third world nations so that we could get cheap shit to fuel our own economy.

The only reason we aren't in a recession already is because the economy has been remarkably resilient after several years of growth under Obama. The GOP tax cut has certainly helped stave off that recession (even if it did come with a dagger in the backs of the middle class), but it's like applying bandaids to a gunshot wound.

Except our budget is set by Congress, not the President. Congress sets forth appropriations that the President & the executive branch then uses. Appropriations generally come with conditions that the agency has to follow; they're not blank checks, they're usually explicit with what aims & goals Congress wants to see. Any blame for the rise in our federal deficit is solely to blame with spendthrifts in the House/Senate Appropriations committees.

Coincidentally, we've had a GOP-led House for eight years and a GOP-led Senate for four. And the appropriations committees in both chambers of Congress have been led by GOP congressmen, who hold (or held) a considerable majority over the Democrats in the minority. But that's just a coincidence. Totally unrelated to the increasing deficit. Which is only because of evil leftist boogeymen like Schumer and Pelosi, am I right?

So many morons today think we have escaped the laws of history and competition between nation-states.

I know in your pathetic, small mind you think that the international order is based on cooperation nowadays — and that who owns what doesn’t matter because “all nations are in this together.” The conflicts of old are over, according to you. This is a different time. Well, this was precisely what the concord of Europe believed after the Franco-Prussian war during the 1870s up until WW1. They believe that peace had come, a harmony of nations was present and a “balance” was set. And then, in just a few decades, the world went mad.

This is the naive mentality of the current age. You exemplify it, and there will be a brutal reality-check when inevitable conflict arises on the global stage, as is the law of how nations operate in today’s world driven by power.

You can keep being happy you got $0.50 off that McNugget, because you’re so easily placated.

This is a myth, trade relations lead to even more muddy water making it even more likely for wars to happen.
Athens and Sparta both traded.
Rome and Cartage both traded.
English and French both traded.
Indians and British both traded.
German and British both traded.

Go through history and it comes to be the opposite, the less contact you have with someone the less hotpoints you get. Its one reason attributed to why the USSR and US never had WWIII. Its why the Indians and Romans never wared. Why the Chinese and Egyptians never wared, and why the Europeans and Americans didn't till they met each other, and started trading.

Dude. That doesn't even make sense. Your whole set of counterexamples for people who didn't war is pairs of people on different continents in times when it took months/years to travel.

>This is a myth, trade relations lead to even more muddy water making it even more likely for wars to happen.
Trade is negatively correlated with distance. So is war. I think you might be getting some spurious causal links here.

Also look at this fucking graph. We have never even been close to this trade-reliant. Even the colonies came close to this level of inter-country trade.

The economy is good because the federal reserve keeps interest rates low. Eventually they're going to raise them and trigger a recession. It's only a matter of how long the recession is. I'm guessing 8 months

Didn't stop the Spanish from taking over north America, on an entirely different continent. People started trading and before you knew it the UK owned India and Europe was breaking apart China. But in the end they have little to no interactions with each other which is the point. A Roman won't fight a China man if he doesn't know who that person is, let alone how many he will have to face. But Athens and Sparta fraught in spite of trade.
>Also look at this fucking graph. We have never even been close to this trade-reliant.
Doesn't matter, Yugoslavia remains the perfect example of why conflict will still come up. The entire nation split apart in spite of it being more beneficial for them to stay together as a political and economic union.

Cope, Yugoslavia wasn't only politically integrated but economically, and still ripped itself apart. Might have been good to keep trading but the people were sick of each other and would rather both be miserable then let the other one be rich.

Your problem is you think nothing can happen that can destroy the current world order and way of trading when history has proven time and time and time and time again that things do happen.

And when that happens and the chinks are in control of our food supply and our farmers are training to make apps within latisha for Apple we are in for some real pain.

The end goal is to keep our unsustainable growth from having no fail safe, which would be a interest rate drop. Think of it as an insurance on the economy, might be a bitch to pay in the here and now but hopefully it'll be worthwhile. Doubt its being done to hurt his re-election chances, though I don't doubt Obango pressured the FED to keep them low to help Shillary.
>>11919109
My example isn't an African state you absolute asshat. Stop being a neoliberal kike, this shit is a lie though and through. People only don't kill each other over trade conflicts today because the US keeps them from doing so. Wonder why the US still has wars over oil but other states don't? Its not because of a global economy, but because of a world hyperpower.

Okay, so do we agree power projection is more important to keeping peace then trade relations? If so then we are in agreement.
>naive if you think the Fed isn’t slowing the economy down to hurt trump
Call me whatever you want, I don't think they are otherwise they'd have increased it even more. But it looks like they were pressured by Obango to help Hillary. As soon as Obango saw Hillary had lost he stopped and they started rising rates again.

[Anonymous No.11919230]

Sure we agree on that

Would you also agree producing and controlling our own food sources and farmland and making sure we have a healthy agrarian class regardless of “cost” is absolutely vital to a nation regardless of how big their military is?

And the fed WILL continue to raise rates under trump - they’ve already raised them 11 times. They raised them 3 times under obama - trump was right when he said Obama got to play with funny money. The fed artificially propped up the economy under king nigger

Now we have a force of nature in office that’s got us moving in the right direction and we need to suddenly raise rates and slow things down. Fuck you if you support this bullshit I am 30 and need to buy and house and have kids and I can’t do that in a stagnant economy

Ditto it for a few other essentials yeah, food policy and a few other industries (energy) are equally important not to ship overseas due to geopolitics, regardless of net gains from trade.
>Fuck you if you support this bullshit I am 30 and need to buy and house and have kids and I can’t do that in a stagnant economy
The economy will always be fucking stagnate due to neoliberals who sold this country out before we were born. Interest rates increase is a mixed bag. Sure it'll continue, but it won't be crazy high. At least it'll keep the faggots who were benefiting off of the low rates from selling this country out even more.

The fact that people believe that open trade based on globalism is the only way to make your economy strong is such a fucking brainwashing thing to think.
China were literally buying the US up slowly, they were outperforming them, making companies RALLY to China rather than the US, etc etc. Why do you think chinese funded propaganda tools were constantly shilling against Trump? Why do you think China treated Trump so gently the first time Xi and him met compared to Obama?

It's not fucking hard to understand that China is in an extremely powerful position. They don't have bureaucracy, they can order to construction of several skyscrapers and get it approved in a day by the congress they fully control, they don't have democracy pushing them backwards on certain issues, they don't follow certain international laws, the chinese government can do whatever the fuck they want without being pushed back by another political party, they can pay workers in scraps for very hard labour that westerners would demand higher wages for along with bonuses, etc etc.

So of course a guy like Trump would want to try and halt the chinese bulldozer and the only way he can do that is with tariffs. You should be happy though since this is /biz/, Trump is the master of volatility and I certainly are enjoying this market. But don't come here pretending that everything was just fine before Trump took office.
Either way, the US will lose thanks to democracy in the end. No matter what, Trump will be gone in 2024 and considering how elections work here in the western world, people 90% of the times picks the other party just to switch things up.. especially after 8 years of one party control. MEANWHILE, China will have the exact same party and power as before.. 10 years from now, 15 years from now, 30 years from now.
