Win or lose this election will more then likely be decided in the Supreme court.

Guess how that will go.....

A prominent anti Trumper once openly called for recession to help defeat Trump and the recession theme was taken up by a number of main stream media.

So far the US economy has done better than many first World economies and has shown tremendous resilience.
The recent jobs report is testament to that.

Trump is beginning his fourth year. Therefore it is safe to say the economy is his.

He has gambled on claiming it early since when he was a candidate he had severely criticized the metric used to describe it.

It seems his luck is holding. If it stays with him till November the odds for second term is much improved.

Luck is right, there's no explaining this economy under the uncertainty leadership of this capricious chaos clown. Nonetheless, it is not sustainable, but like most demagogic strategies, the randomly flung faeces only has to cling until its purpose is served, then to be denied and ignored.

A critical consideration, is the Trump economy sustainable?

Life's always seems good when living on credit you never plan on paying for. You know, planning on filing chapter 13 or will it be 11?
This time for a whole country.....not a company!

It is sustainable as long as the world continues to buy its debt.
The US has goodwill, a heap of goodwill.

Had. Uncertainty about almost everything, including long-standing alliances, has seriously undercut confidence in the reliability of US assets.
