The others making boatloads of money are making out like bandits--there's your BOOMING economy and GUT everything else to help pay for those massive tax cuts for the rich and Corporations.

Trump loves to tout the stock market and 401K/IRA accounts. UNLESS your 62.5 years old you can't touch them without a major penalty. So if your 50 right now WTF does it matter what the markets are doing? The markets went UP under GW Bush right up until they CRASHED in 2008. If you could wait it out you would have got back to even under Obama but it took time. Most people who aren't rich do NOT own individual stocks,they can't afford them nor take the risk.
