No, Trump is NOT good for the economy. He will not help business owners. Trump, like W. has been installed with a mandate to raise the price of oil for his master, Putin's whose country's economy is almost completely dependent upon oil.
Remember what happened under. W., GE? Remember whatr happened to the airlines? Remember what happened to the cost of transporting merchandise to stores? Remember how much money consumers had left over to spend after they paid $4 a gallon for gas? Well, say hello to $5-6 a gallon gas. Putin will love you for it.
