Just because Trump keeps saying the economy is great, doesn't mean it's true. Sure, if you are a millionaire or a billionaire, it's great, but for the rest of us - even if we are still employed and holding our own - there is still a huge amount of economic fear out there that the other shoe is going to drop at any time now.
