administration, the environmental protection agency has rolled back more than 60 rules, the us security and exchanges commissioncoming chair of the federal reserve has said some of the banking rules put in place after the financial crisis should be pulled back. one, two, three. all of this has helped the economy in the short term, but the long—term impacts could be unpleasant. the pendulum swings every eight years or so, and that is a common thing. this swing is more radical than it has been at any time back to reagan. it is more than the traditional pendulum swing. now the question is, what can we expect from the economy going forward? well, the financial markets seem like they will stay strong for now. i would think the first half of 2018 should be pretty positive, i think this has room to go. is it going to be up 20% again in 2018? probably not. strong markets mean mr trump will still have one of his favourite economic indicators to boast about. if, however, some of his other economic aspirations don't pan out, that could pose problems for what could already be a tricky mid—term election. samira hussein, bbc
