Ideas
Donald Trump President of the United States 1:27
US stocks in golden age boom
The US economy is in a golden age with record factory construction, all-time high employment, 401ks up 80-90%, and the stock market at all-time highs with 81 record closes in roughly 18 months. The Dow is near 53,000 and the S&P 500 hit 7,000 far ahead of schedule. Trump believes his second term is financially outperforming his first term, which was already the most successful four years including the COVID period.
SPY DJI HIGH

Crypto strategic, US must lead
Crypto is a big deal and a major industry. The US must be number one in crypto or China will take it over. Trump frames crypto leadership as a strategic necessity alongside AI dominance. He states the US is currently number one in crypto and wants to maintain that position.

AI bigger than internet, US leads
AI is bigger than the internet and whoever is number one will win the race. The US is substantially ahead of China and everybody else in AI. Massive data center plants are being built with dedicated on-site power generation because the old grid could not supply enough electricity. Trump takes credit for allowing each plant to become its own utility, enabling the AI buildout to proceed at scale.
Artificial Intelligence sector HIGH

Intel surges on government equity deal
The government negotiated a 10% equity stake in Intel when the company had problems and no prior president had charged tariffs that would protect domestic chip manufacturing. The stock has since gone 'through the roof,' Intel is 'one of the hottest companies,' and the government made approximately $60-70 billion in eight or nine months on zero investment. Trump frames this as a great outcome for American taxpayers.
INTC HIGH
Donald Trump President of the United States 32:29
Oil prices contained, spike prevented
Trump prevented oil from spiking to $300-350 per barrel by secretly using the Navy to escort tankers out through southern routes with lights off for a month and a half, taking out 22 ships in one night. He destroyed Iran's radar to blind them. Oil is now at $67-68, lower than before the Iran conflict. Trump does not want to be Herbert Hoover with an oil-driven depression and is actively managing supply to keep prices contained with a ceiling well below $115.
