It’s fair to say that 2017 will be a year like none other. On Jan. 20, the country swore in as President Donald Trump, who has promised a “new direction” for the country.
Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager who’ll also serve in the new administration, told advisors during December’s MarketCounsel Summit in Miami that the American voter has “made good on its 30-year self-avowed description” of an ideal president being someone “outside the system who goes to Washington owing no one anything.”
In the campaign and since his victory in November, Trump consistently said his administration would institute fewer regulations and would cut taxes -personal and corporate – to help stimulate economic growth.
During this presidential election cycle, Conway stated that more than 70% of Americans “said all along they wanted to take the country in a new direction. They wanted change.”
So what changes -revolutionary or otherwise – are in store for advisors and their clients under a Trump administration?
