When I do my taxes this next year, I'll end up seeing more money in my pocket than when I do my taxes this year. Also, DOW JONES has reached by now around 26K or 27K, ISIS is basically nonexistant at this point in time, Bad Trade Deals have for the most part been renegotiated, All of the unecessary regulations on businesses have been removed, The US Military is being rebuilt, At least 2 million jobs were created (In Retail, Manufacturing, and Automotive just to name a few industries that benefited from this), The LGBTQ Community hasn't been supressed which the mainstream media said they would if Trump becomes president, Constitutional Judges were nominated in numerous federal district courts, Tax Reform happened, The Obamacare's Indevidual mandate has been repealed finally, and a few more.

If you wanna argue with me on this, I'm prepared. :) The Economy that you are benefiting from is only a short-term situation. There are too many issues with the tax reform in the long term, it is not viable. Firms will benefit a lot from this reform, but that doesn't mean the people will benefit in the long term. The ISIS Situation, now lets be honest, has nothing to do with the US. ISIS was cleared up mainly by Iraq and Syria, and the US was pulling back under Trump. The Kurdish Troops were there and were trained since Obama. Also, Bad Trade Deals? Honestly, these Trade Deals have just been dismantled. NAFTA and the TPPA haven't been renegotiated, and these are the main ones. The US Military, in my opinion, is too large and expensive for its own good, but this is just an opinion, so I'll let it slide. Trump made 1,074,000 jobs in his first 6 months and Obama made 1,084,000. This is within the Margin of Error, so assume they both made the same amount of jobs. So, it isn't that impressive. Also, Trump's handling of the employment isn't good. There are almost 6 million unfilled job posts, and instead of using foreign labour to increase efficiency and production, Trump has barred foreigners from coming into the country. On the other hand, education prices are as high as ever, meaning that not all Americans can get that level of skill needed to get those unfilled job posts. This means the nation isn't using their resources at maximum efficiency.
