Trump's taxation changes has only enlarged the wealth disparity, which is extremely unhealthy for the country, fomenting economic unfairness and anger. A small amount of money may have returned from off-shore, but it only boosted share prices as companies bought back shares, a totally artificial and temporary price increase.

We're probably already in a recession or its economic equivalent. The market has been kept afloat by Trump supporters on Wall Street, but how long can that last? The moves by the Fed suggest they are also working to keep things going, without overreacting. Only time will tell if it will be enough. The existing system is sick, sick, sick, and only severe counter-measures similar to those voiced by Warren, Sanders and the like, have any chance of keeping things going, but good luck getting those through Congress. We could finally be fucked for good this time. Could progress be made in the ensuing chaos?
