German Professor on President Trump:
Trump has been President for a year now and has achieved:
-4.3% GDP growth
-the oil price is 20% lower than a year ago
-unemployment below 4.5%
-the American stock markets have risen by about 20% during this period
-inflation is at 2.7%
-the trade deficit is the lowest in 17 years
-the crime rate has declined significantly
-illegal migration has dropped by 95%

Trump isn’t alone in this. But what I see: His team works with tremendous efficiency.
In German politics, by contrast, success is unwelcome. It is rendered impossible by a multitude of agreements, separation of powers, and regulations. The Bundestag is the best example of that.

I know lots of people ALREADY feel like giving up because the President makes investing so difficult. I disagree. He makes trading hard, but he brings down prices that shouldn't come down, as you can see from that great UAL print last night. Travel bull market is alive and well
