Perhaps there has never been such disdain for a president of
the US as there has been for President Trump. While the majority of the US population voted for his
opponent, Hilary Clinton, the electorate votes made Trump the winner. Therefore, more than half of the US
citizens opposed President Trump from the beginning. Yet, in their desire to invalidate him, they will ensure he
is re-elected.
President Trump is a businessman. While many will argue whether or not he is successful, it is
fair to say he makes a living conducting various types of business deals. When you combine that with his attitude
towards deregulation and tax cuts, the business community, including Wall
Street, is quite enthusiastic about him being in the White House. As a result, in less than one year, $5
trillion has been added to the US economy. And the stock market has performed better during his
presidency than it has ever in the stock market’s 200-year history.
In addition, they are predicting the economy will have
strong growth over the coming four years.
With that said, it would seem people would favor a president who is good
for the economy.
Well, President Trump makes comments in the media, including
Twitter that have enraged more than a few. And he has alienated women, immigrants and some
minorities. Those enraged people
seem to have made it their mission to find a reason to impeach President
Trump. To do that, they have to
stay abreast of every move he makes.
That means people are reading every tweet he makes. They read every article in favor or
against him. And they are watching
everything the television has to say about him. For the media, that means more people reading the paper and
watching TV. There is also an
increase in on-line traffic to stay on top of the latest incident that could
lead to possible impeachment of President Trump.
As you can imagine, the President has become a godsend for
sinking ratings on network television.
As president, he has most likely outperformed his high ratings from his
show The Apprentice. What does
that do for the media?
I will assume there are more people buying and subscribing
to newspapers since President Trump was nominated to the Republican Party than
in the past several years. I
assert there are people who, in the past, did not care much for politics who
are now buying papers and magazines they ignored before the 2016 election. With more newspapers sold, the papers
can make the case for why companies should advertise in their publication. That
also makes it possible for them to charge more to advertise.
That kind of stimulus will require print media to buy more
paper. Furthermore, print and
television will be motivated to hire more sales people. That means since President Trump took
office, more jobs were created. As
advertising increases on-line, TV and print, more people are hired to create
the ads. With increased ad
pricing, there is more disposable income from price increases and additional
jobs. Those people will buy
clothes, cars, houses, washers and dryers, carpet, vacations, etc. All that activity stimulates the
economy and more job creation – the multiplier effect.
However, this all occurs from the people who claim to
dislike the elected President of the United States, Donald Trump. That hatred has sparked so much
activity that it actually has stimulated the economy. At the end of four years, President Donald Trump will have a
fantastic story of enormous proportions.
He will be able to say he has stimulated the economy better than any
president in the history of the US.
And it will be all because of you.
What do you
think? I would love to hear your feedback. And I’m open to ideas. Or if you
want to write me about a specific topic, let me know.
A very interesting point of view, as you say whether you like him or hate him he is getting the job done.
