Donald Trump & Business - Will He Succeed Again?

A new year has begun, and this year of 2024 is when the presidential election of the United States is being held. While there are two major presidential candidates, Biden and Trump, the majority are expecting Trump to be elected, despite the conflicts he has caused to the whole society before he had to hand over the presidential role to Biden, ultimately resulting in some states like Maine to remove him from the ballot. 

Recognizing the high chances of Donald Trump returning as a president of the United States, this article will evaluate Trump’s ability to improve domestic businesses back in 2017 to 2021.

A positive aspect that Trump successfully managed is the unemployment rate and job growth. His predecessor, Obama, built a strong economic basis for the US, despite the harsh financial conditions around the globe. With such a rigid basis, Trump was able to further improve the business aspects of the nation, providing increased job opportunities and hence lowering the unemployment rate. 

However, Trump’s negative effect towards business growth should also be noticed. Back in 2019, Trump has failed to manage the spread of COVID-19, with him explicitly explaining to his supporters that they do not have to wear masks. This not only increased the number of patients exposed to COVID-19, but also impacted the operation of countless businesses, limiting them in the number of workers needed for daily operations. 

With that being said, Trump’s ability to manage the economy, as well as misleading leadership styles, should be recognized by all US citizens, so that they can vote for the best candidate who would improve society.
