Readers Write: Critics ignore strong economy under Trump

I have been reading so many letters to the editor criticizing President Trump so I felt I wanted to put forth some positive information.

The Dow is up nearly 5,000 points, or about 27 percent since Election Day.

Much of the credit has to go to the pro-business President Trump

— the antithesis of what the nation has seen the prior eight years.

It is not just the stock market. Consumer confidence and economic optimism are up.

The Labor Department reports that claims for unemployment just dropped by 22,000 to 222,000 – the lowest since March of 1973.

President Trump has been more aggressive on deregulation than any president since Ronald Reagan.

By July the White House said it has stopped more than 800 Obama-era regulations that were in the works.

With the president under daily assault in much of the media , it is well worth keeping the big picture in mind.

He has been a huge boost for the United States economy.
