It's all up in the air. Trump is a controversial character. He's both good and bad. It just matters about competition, perhaps including Republican candidates vying for presidency.
lol. The hundreds of millions of dead people on the voter rolls. The illegal aliens that we've witnessed vote. Then there's the actual voting machines that anyone with a USB drive can steal percentages out of each area that is less than a full percent.
A hopeful thought for you Trumpists. But: he's never cracked 50% in his approval ratings, according to most polls. He's failed to deliver on many of his campaign promises, including his signature issue of building a border wall and having Mexico pay for it. The economy is doing better, and unemployment is quite low, but America still does not feel "greater" for a whole lot of folks. Even most supporters of Trump concede that he can be petty, self-absorbed, insulting, and divisive. There are plenty of Democratic candidates running for the 2020 nomination who could beat him.

I will hand it to you for presenting a whole lot more specific and debatable propositions about Trump's job performance than the vast majority of Trump supporters on this website do.
You've put forth a lot of economic arguments. I won't debate them all, but I will say this. Similar previous cycles of Republican-backed massive tax cuts and deregulation in the past have produced record-high stock markets, and record-low unemployment numbers, but ended in major wrenching recessions. See: Stock market collapse at the end of the Bush Administration, '08-'09.
I sure hope nothing like that ever happens again, since I don't want Americans to wallow in economic misery. However, I'm quite skeptical that we really solved the underlying issues. If another massive economic collapse occurs at some point during Trump's Administration, then history predicted it.
The Repo Crisis,
The real test comes at year-end when banks typically step back from the repo market so that their balance sheets are smaller for December 31 regulatory calculations. We will see what really happens then on the chaos scale of 1 to 10. I find it really funny how there are articles calling it the new QE to where the Fed is clandestinely buying T-Bills through repo. This really seems to be an orchestrated effort at disinformation.The Repo Crisis is on time. For the start of the Liquidity Crisis was after Labor Day in September. The Fed is trying to prevent short-term rates from rising. They are not engaging in Quantitative Easing for the sake of “stimulating” the economy.
Things are getting bad and the rumor behind the curtain is that European banks will be prohibited from participating in repo for year-end. That is how bad things are getting.
The Repo Market is overnight. Banks buy the T-Bills because they are Primary Dealers and MUST buy in the auctions to retain that position. Simply because they put them into Repo the same day means nothing. They buy them back the next day. This is complete nonsense and it once again demonstrates that all people look at is domestic issues. The claim foreigners are selling US debt is absurd. Foreign buying of US debt is intensifying as European banks ship cash to their US branches who are buying the debt and posting cash at the Fed in the excess reserve facility because of the fear of a banking crisis in Europe. So they are supposed to be selling US debt forcing the Fed to monetize because they prefer negative yielding debt in Euro with the Euro declining? Perhaps if you need to lose money for a tax write off!
The Repo Crisis has NOTHING to do with the Fed hiding some problem in the USA and the Fed is not monetizing the debt using Repo. We have a major crisis unfolding and neither the central banks nor the primary dealer banks will talk about what is taking place behind the curtain. This is a very MAJOR CRISIS, and it will get far worse
