Odaily Planet Daily News: Recently, Forbes contacted 50 top Wall Street leaders, including billionaire investors, major institutional asset management companies and the largest wealth advisors in the United States, to find out their support for President Trump's economic strategy since he took office.
These 50 respondents were selected because of their huge influence. Among these Wall Street heavyweights - more than half of whom supported Trump's economic policies when he returned to the White House in January - 72% said that the Trump team's economic plan was ineffective, and 66% did not support his economic policies. Among those who supported Trump a few weeks ago, more than a third no longer support his economic policies, and most of them (54%) said that Trump failed to implement his plans.
Forbes also surveyed these Wall Street bigwigs on specific aspects of Trump's various economic policies, asking them to rate them on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most favorable score. Most of their ratings were terrible. On the issue of tariffs, Trump scored 1.86 points (out of 5 points), with 27 respondents giving the lowest score. He scored equally badly on the stock market, at 1.96 (25 respondents gave him a 1 out of 5), and nearly as badly on the executive order against law firms, at 2.10 — a direct attack on the rule of law upon which America’s free-enterprise system depends. Cryptocurrencies (2.0) and inflation (2.16) also scored poorly.
