1 - I am inclined to believe, but am not sure enough yet to claim that I do believe, that the contradictory economic info (mrkts, fed res, SBA numbers, CPI changes, payroll rpts etc) to the extent that it can be believed, reflects a dramatic shift in investment and control from Wall Street to Main Street. If so, this may take a year or more to settle out with the dems seeing the sky falling and the mid term voters seeing their lives improving.
2 - you missed, I think, Trump's biggest win of the week: he leveraged TDS to get Carney elected in Canada.
Not only does this virtually guarantee a change from the multi-lateral NAFTA and USCANMEX agreements to a pair of bilateral agreements, but it will almost certainly lead to a separatist (future econ partner or 51s state) movement in western Canada and, more importantly, a tremendous reduction in Ottawa's silent opposition to projects like Keystone II.
Trump 1.0 was slightly better than average, but 2.0? Holy Cow!
I'm still in shock and awe. This is what I voted for.
Professor, store away all those videos of Democrats stating "This is Trump's economy" when the averages were down. They'll be excellent when played back to them in a few months.
"A jobs report this morning that came in much stronger than expected,"
I'm going to bet that not only is the total job number very good, but a much larger portion of the total jobs will be full time private sector jobs. Unlike the last admin that touted great job numbers, when one looks under the number, it shows a majority of the jobs were government or part-time jobs.
As I recall the jobs number under China Jo Xi Den was ALWAYS revised downward after it lost its place in the news cycle. If these numbers are revised upward next week or so it will be in the headlines again. Damn I love the winning.
There is only one job approval poll to track - Rasmussen Reports. It's a continuous tracking poll averaged over the past 3 days. So it picks up the ebb and flow of public opinion about Trump 2.0. Rasmussen happens to also be one of the more accurate pollsters, though there are better polling firms they don't publish a tracking poll.
In the end I care more that Trump's team are taking on the gigantic set of problems Biden left him: securing the border; forcing the emigration of millions of illegals; our massive twin deficits of the Federal budget and global trade; China's threat to its neighbors and potential control of the island that manufactures 90% of the world's demand for advanced trips.
He will become unpopular. The actions required to fix these problems will be picked apart by Dems, the legacy media and most unfortunately, lifetime wobbly kneed Republicans on Capital Hill. The economy will become rocky -- corporate business leaders hate uncertainty and unwinding global trade imbalances and supply chains will create that. Reducing federal spending will also create a short-term drag.
Trump needs to lead like Lincoln, who pursued the Civil War and took the casualties needed, even if that put at risk his reelection in 1864. Perhaps Lucretia should receive special govt employee status to make sure Trump and his cabinet retain their backbone.
OT, but AOL has a news headline about Trump planning to limit NIL for college athletes after a meeting with Nick Saban. In the unlikely event that the report is true, that seems like an overreach by any part of the federal government, probably state government, too.

Imagine how much better it would be if it weren't for the district courts working to stop everything.

Fox Business just reporting that about 95% of those jobs were private sector. Also, federal employment dropped by 9000 jobs. Winning!!

It was in the news that Harris’ internal polling NEVER showed her ahead of Trump , while except for Rasmussen it was clearly slanted a different way
