100 days of Trump a $uccess

A Sany savvy player in business or sports knows, it’s not how you start, but how you finish.

The first 100 days of a presidency is important to only one constituency — the losing party.

The first thing President Obama did on Day One was to sign an order to close Gitmo, and that’s still open.

Economically speaking, President Trump’s first 100 days were OK by me. But for those not skilled in the art of economics — which would include 99 percent of reporters and the vast majority of academic economists — there was not much tangible with regard to headlines to point to in the first quarter.

I expect that some of the seeds Trump planted in his first 100 days will begin to sprout soon. In fact, I am quite confident that the second 100 days will blow the doors off the economy.

Since becoming president-elect, Trump and his team have met with more than 200 CEOs or other executives from a broad swath of industries in our economy to champion them, not to chastise them.

Executives from Wisconsin-based Harley-Davidson, which builds its motorcycles here, brought their “Hogs” up to the front steps of the White House.

Trump also killed the Transpacific Partnership, which essentially was an economic redistribution model with a region of the world that we compete with.

That was smart and makes sense for the American worker — we should treat individual countries the way they treat us. Economic reciprocity, if you will.

Trump has issued numerous progrowth, pro-business executive orders. On Thursday, the House Financial Services Committee approved a measure to revise and repeal certain sections of the growth-restricting Dodd-Frank Act.

In his transformational second 100 days, expect a clearer crystallization of the tax-cut plan.

And, finally, wages will rise, a long overdue bump that will feel very good in everyday Americans’ wallets.

In the second 100, we will get a taste of Trump’s economy — and it may just rock your economic world.
