Here is a simple piece of data which accounts for the state of the US economy and the prediction for the near term as well as the World`s confidence in our leadership at the top .

It comes down to one number , one number alone and the trend upward or downward . It is The Dow Jones Industrial Average .
It has been on an strong upward arch since Election Day and now sits at an all time high of : 20,624 an increase of over 12% since the Election .
It`s continued rise despite all of the carping , attacks and boorish behavior of the declining media --- [ and yes these outlets are digging their own demise each and every day ] the continuing rise of the DOW says that the WORLD --- at least those decision makers who count --- have a great deal of faith in President Trump .

So for the rest of you sitting up in the peanut gallery --- the World really doesn`t take it`s direction from your very small minded politics .
