donald trump:  Significant wage increases, booming corporate profits, and double-digit stock grains SPX, 1.48% are not likely in the months leading up to the presidential election, according to Market Watch.  Lackluster economies sunk the re-election hopes of Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush.  Second-quarter growth was only 2.1% and is not likely to return to 3% on a sustained basis.  Donald Trump's failure to deliver meaningful health-care reform and the pain inflicted on Midwestern farmers by Chinese retaliation against his tariffs make matters worse.  His trade wars notwithstanding, China and Europe are stuck in the mud and saddled by political dysfunction.  Forces having nothing to do with who occupies the oval office, negatively affect U.S. growth.
