The Trump Effect: Record high business confidence. This shouldn’t be a surprise — Trump’s first term drove investment up 23%. Biden managed just 0.6%. Business confidence hits fresh records as 63% of CEO’s now expect a boom. Under Biden it was just 19%. They’re eager to invest — and create jobs — to ride the wave.

Can you imagine the level of investment the US would see if Trump ends the IRS? – Voluntariest Minister Tweet
Nothing terrifies the left more than a booming economy under Trump. They need economic misery to keep people dependent on government handouts.
A sharp contradiction to the lamestream narrative of “regret”. – Kevin M Nelson
CEOs should know, as a group. I like the increased confidence! – Justmemarkb
Seems we need a quick sharp correction/recession to get prices down in the near term and create opportunities for the Trillions in cash sitting on the sidelines. If the republicans could do their jobs and get tax code changed and actually cut some spending we would be in much better shape – Jbob
My big concern is the labor force being available, able and ready for the boom. Especially with all the big major projects like Eli Lilly’s mega projects and all the data centers. These will take 100s of thousands of skilled labor such as electricians, pipe-fitters, plumbers, and the list goes on. Not enough of them to support all these projects. I hear they are calling their own shots already…..by the way, I Love skilled workers. – Megawattwoman
From what I observe it takes 6 months to a year to see the real effect. – Waynehail
My business is tied to a strong economy. My clients have been silent for the past three years. – The Last Californian
The good thing will be once these laid off government workers have to actually start working a real job for a living there’s like a 99% chance they’ll become conservatives. – PaulieP Tweet
Great comment on energy costs! I.E., energy to run these giant industrial plants, iron production, chemical crackers, etc., 30+% of their costs is energy…. Couple that with huge future increases in energy demand for AI multiplexes…. Any reduction in energy costs is increase in profits … any significant reduction in energy costs is significant increase to bottom line. Setting up more investment, more growth, etc.. – Paul C
