Yep, that is the north star of presidential elections. If the economy is good the president is good. The Fed had better not mess up Trump's party...
If Trump can get a good China deal, then the economy should be good for a long while.
the economy has likely peaked for this cycle. Trump cut taxes and added more than a trillion to the debt in an all out effort to get 3% GDP growth for the year, and could not do it.
We are at 118 months of economic expansion, only 2 shy of the all time record for this country. All good things come to an end.
