The other 20% is unsure who they will support.

Trump will pump so much money into the economy that the stock market will continue to go up. He will point to it and say he has the best economy there ever was. Of course, this is not true. Classic economics says when so much money is pumped into the economy inflation should be going wild. But it does not seem to be. The inflation is confined to the Stock Market. This is because 90% of the money being pumped into the economy is going to the rich, and there is only so much stuff they can buy. Instead of the general public enjoying the benefits of all this easy money and buying stuff only the rich are. So the rich buy stocks.

This is creating greater demand for stocks. So, their prices go up because of greater demand. The rising stock market is not a measure of the economy but only the result of inflation in the market. Since the rising market is included in the measure of economic growth, it is included in the GDP number. So the GDP goes up, but it is not a real measure of what is going on in the economy.

Trump's greatest scam on the American people is his phony economy. But it may very well get him re-elected.
