  1. Stock market goes up and down its cyclical and doesn't connect to wages, if the tax cuts for corporation hadn't come in it wouldn't have gone up to the extent it has all that has happened is a companies have done share buybacks which has boosted the share price. Money is then given to executives who's incentive packages include shares going up, what's worse is deregulation is going to lead to another crash your already seeing record fines on banks for shady behaviour. Economics wise Trumps trade war is choking off investment, when large scale investment is happening say in companies such as Tesla the factory is built abroad and supplies a non US market instead of importing components and building in the US then exporting, Tesla is planning a gig factory in Europe. By not supporting education and infrastructure or subsidising research the US is also falling behind its previous immigration policy took in some of the brightest minds to fuel the tech boom now they have to be white and well off, in computing India has been a huge source of technology labour. I could go on but the current Republicans strategy isnt just short term in like the next decade it's literally like thier plans don't extend beyond a couple of years, it's destructive and just sheer greed.
