In December 2024, the Roaring 2020s are already here. The stock market is near an all-time high and Bitcoin has gained enormous value, waiting for Donald J. Trump to become President again, to make America Great Again.
In 2025 US citizens should expect markets to continue growing, and
the costly war in the Ukraine to be settled. Deregulation, interest rate
cuts, and tax cuts, which provide economic stimulus, will be at the
heart of the new Trump Administration, good enough to pump up the
economy for years. Threats to raise tariffs on China and other nations (which are costly to consumers) may only be threats.
Mr. Trump
promises a new Golden Age. And many of those who are clever enough and ambitious enough should expect to get rich. But those who do not agree with President Trump may face increased scrutiny, harkening back to a century ago.
