will be some bargains. But I would be very careful, as long as tRUMP has those stupid executive actions, and keeps writing them, thinking that they're the solve all to all of our problems (they're not), he's never going to work w/ Congress or any other entities to fix things or enhance things (it seems that way, and I am figuring that he's going to do another tax thing like he did in his first term, which I don't think is needed, and I agree w/ you, FDT).

The business environment has had plenty of things already going for it. Businesses don't need this sort of thing now. But tRUMP has got it in his mind that he's got to do something, simply because he's thinks it needs something. It doesn't, it just needs a steady hand, no willy nilly crap like he's so prone to doing.

Right now, he's crashed consumer spending. A big chunk of spending that, despite what some think, it did stimulate consumer spending.

So now he's got to fight this, and as the giant boogie man, he's pissed off ALL of our trading partners, both imports and exports. He already knew that these were big economic engines that drive the Economy. What the hell? And he seems to think that factories can be built overnight (and he crashed the Infrastructure Spending initiative too, so no help there, in short, he's f**ked himself (and us too I personally think)).
