CNBC's Sara Eisen Tells The View Wall Street Likes Trump

"There's a lot of upbeat sentiment from companies. The tariffs usually wouldn't be helpful for growth, but they haven't been as bad as everybody expected. When the tariffs were announced, everyone thought it would be, like, massive inflation, and the market would fall apart and the economy would fall apart. And it hasn't. The companies have absorbed it. They've never been more profitable right now."

"It helps rich people. It doesn't help poor people or middle-income people. If you are wealthy, then it's great. If you're middle class, or under the middle class, then it is not good at all. But what I would say to that is it helps to have exposure to stocks. More people should have exposure to stocks."

During a Thursday episode of The View, CNBC anchor Sara Eisen discussed Wall Street's perspective on President Trump's economic policies. Eisen reported that the market views Trump favorably, noting companies display upbeat sentiment and record profitability. Regarding Trump's tariff policy, Eisen stated that while tariffs typically hinder growth, they have not produced the severe negative consequences many anticipated, with companies absorbing costs rather than causing massive inflation or economic collapse. However, the hosts highlighted that tariff benefits disproportionately favor wealthy individuals and corporations, while middle-class and lower-income Americans experience minimal benefits. Eisen acknowledged this disparity but suggested stock market exposure and expanded 401k programs could help broader populations benefit from economic gains.
