President Trump Praised for Fast Aid/Relief Delivery to The People

President Trump is a caring and decent man who believes in America 110%. I wish other politicians felt and did the same.

He has seen the ups and downs, both personally plus professionally, and somehow survived by hard work. Perhaps, some day, people like Ms. Pelosi will understand this. He, unlike Nancy Pelosi, has not gained his wealth at the costs of self-beneficial interests ($200-M+ in her latest reported wealth even though her Congressional compensation has been less than $200,000/year over her 30-year career as a Democrat politician) in the service of our country as she has and many others too. Donald J. Trump genuinely cares about The People you can see that in his business affairs. He believes in taking a business attitude to what he is doing; get the job done properly or get “fired” and when it is done, leave or create a new opportunity for your services which is exactly what we do in business, a harsh lesson for the entrenched bureaucrats and politicians in our country. Some 40-years ago I met him, and he is the same then as he is now, unchanged in his beliefs of helping others. He is a strong leader, let him run with the ball and let the chips fall as to where they should be.

This Market’s Q-1 Downdraft Created Massive Opportunities for Savvy Investors

Adding fuel to the economic recovery underway is the fact that The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index® held steady in May, following a sharp decline in April.

“The Index now stands at 86.6 (1985=100), up from 85.7 in April. This a Key indicator as to the overall direction of the stock market and should continue to climb, given the pent-up demand that is returning to the market after some 3 months shut-down.

The Next Aid/Relief/Stimulus Legislation to Include Long-Term Economic Fixes

We should also include the recognition and solutions for our troublesome social issues, including women and minority rights plus the homeless problem as some of our cities, like Los Angeles, have begun to address. Perhaps, this could be part of the next stimulus using the federal government’s economic powers but without unnecessary ‘pork-barreling’. Sooner hopefully, Congress working together and not as partisan politics can begin to address these ‘delicate’ issues, which are extremely important in confronting our ‘out-of-control; and most concerning, priority social problems and unrest. Money goes a long way for many of our people are without adequate food and worried about having a roof over their heads.

USD’s Silent Decline Helps Fuel Strong Rally in Stocks

Such a decline in the USD fits well into President Trump’s economic recovery plans as a lower valued dollar creates more exports for US goods and thus greater opportunities for employment. It is employment that is a Key priority to our economic health for the more people working creates a more positive effect for consumer confidence which is a Key drivers for economic expansion and further drives the value of US businesses. The latter not only causes a positive effect in our stock market, but also fuels corporate merger and acquisition opportunities, a Key element in strengthening corporations which in turn leads to higher business efficiency and thus, higher corporate market values.

American Jobs Are Returning, Bright Summer Ahead

This recovery will cause a new economy to be developed in the U.S. The older techniques of doing business will fall by the wayside, with E-commerce plus research and development particularly in the medical industry leading the way. New products will more quickly be introduced and old, tired retailers laid by the wayside – either restructured or bankrupt. Shopping malls will also see deterioration even though there will still be consumer interest for in-store shopping, Foreign sourced supply, particularly for critical medical products, will return to our native soil, with more emphasis on quality and controlled supply versus lower labor costs,with an acceleration for new employment opportunities.
