I believe this response is way overdone. BCA geopolitical strategist <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This week I will be in Washington, D.C., attending Evercore ISI’s Energy Policy & Geopolitics Conference, where I will be visiting senior staff from the White House infrastructure team and House Energy and Commerce Committee. I will also be meeting with John Fagan, head of the Treasury Department’s Markets Room, and Robin Dunnigan, the Bureau of Energy Resource’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Diplomacy. Among the topics of discussion will include energy independence, legal and policy issues impacting the energy sector, tax reform and geopolitical risks in Syria, Russia and Iran.<\/p>\n

I want to extend my gratitude for this opportunity to Evercore ISI chairman Ed Hyman, who was ranked as the top economist by Institutional Investor magazine for 35 straight years, from 1980 to 2014. I’ll have much to share with our investment team when I return.<\/p>\n

Let’s Get Fiscal<\/p>\n

Last FridayPresident Donald Trump tweeted his frustration with the \u201cridiculous standard of the first 100 days,\u201d claiming that no matter what he accomplishes during this period, the \u201cmedia will kill\u201d it.<\/p>\n

No matter how much I accomplish during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, & it has been a lot (including S.C.), media will kill!<\/p>\n

\t\u2014 Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2017<\/p>\n

There’s some truth here. No U.S. president in modern history has been so vehemently and routinely lambasted by a hostile press corps as Trump has. Harsh jabs have even been thrown by business news sources such as the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, which are normally pretty centrist. <\/p>\n

But for those keeping score, Trump’s 100th day arrives this Sunday, April 29, and it would be disingenuous to describe his tenure so far as smooth sailing. He’s faced a number of significant setbacks and distractions, including federal judges’ smackdown of his two travel bans, a failure to repeal and replace Obamacare and an ongoing investigation into his administration’s possible collusion with the Russian government in the months leading up to the November election.<\/p>\n

Although consumer confidence remains at scorching-hot levels, markets are beginning to express doubt in Trump’s ability to streamline corporate tax and regulation reform. From their all-time high in mid-March, blue chip stocks have given back more than 1 percent, while the U.S. dollar has contracted more than 3.4 percent since late December.<\/p>\n

I believe this response is way overdone. BCA geopolitical strategist Marko Papic said as much during his visit to our office last month. Marko insisted that tax reform is still on its way, despite Congress’ earlier failure to repeal Obamacare. Just last week, House Speaker Paul Ryan said lawmakers were putting the \u201cfinishing touches\u201d on a new health care bill\u2014one that reportedly might scrap protections for people with preexisting conditions\u2014while Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin reassured Americans they can soon expect to see proposals for \u201cthe most significant change to the tax code since Reagan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump himself says a \u201cmassive\u201d tax reform package could be unveiled as early this Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Such change can’t come soon enough. Since 1993, the \u2026read more<\/a> <\/p>\n
