I didn't interfere either. Can I take credit for that as well? How many times a week did he talk to the business leaders?

Eight years of jobs growth despite obama.
That was fake jobs growth...
Oh for Pete's sake you've got to be kidding me.
...and you mean the middle class that flourished, er almost perished over the last 8 years? That's the middle class who should be wary of Trump.
My side hurts, quit making me laugh.
I think the only way you can support Trump is if you beleive in corporate welfare. That is current tax rates and current regulations are preventing companies from hiring more and from paying higher wages to the rank and file.
For example, you would need to believe that if Comcast cable can charge you a $50/month surcharge for using Netflix that Comcast will hire more technicians. (Eliminate net neutrality). Or that if health insurance companies can deduct executive compensation from their tax bills that they will use that money to hire more actuaries (AHCA). Or that if mining companies are able to dump more toxins into public waterways they will hire more workers (EPA water rules).
You also have to beleive that earnings you will enjoy will outweigh the cost that you will bear for these deregulations. For example if your kids' public school funding is cut, will your lower tax bill Offset enough of the private school tuition you may have to pay to ensure your children have a bright future? (DeVos's agenda)
If you beleive that, you can rationally support trump on his economic policies. I can see how business owners and executives of large corps can support this rationally. I don't see how anyone else will be better off.

I don't think anything you cited is considered corporate welfare. If they were, then it is social welfare if my property taxes get reduced or certain building permits are eliminated.
Will your citations result in more employment? We'll see, do you think it will result in less employment?
Do businesses that make more money and pay less in regulatory cost and taxes generally hire more people or less?
Whether the workers make more money or not is somewhat beside the point as long as more people have gainful employment and are pulling on the correct end of the rope. The best form of welfare is a JOB.

As an employer of approx 250 people the ONLY thing that will cause me to hire more people is if there is more demand for my product. perhaps deregulation will cause that. and is the cost to the community worth that.
Since you're an employer, nwm, might I ask you and, maybe, others (@Sig, possibly) about the 'regulatory environment'?
There are some contradictory things that I am hearing from surveys, as well as various pieces of research? Asuming that your business is not finance-related, do you feel that the burden of regulation is excessive? Has it increased in recent years? If so, is it related to some particular changes?
I sent you a PM
What are you talking about? Look at the numbers before and after Obama.
