The article from Investopedia discusses the surge in small business optimism during Donald Trump's presidency, attributing it largely to his pro-business policies. Key factors include significant tax cuts, deregulation efforts, and a general business-friendly environment fostered by the administration. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, which directly benefited small businesses by increasing their cash flow and profitability. Deregulation, particularly in sectors like finance and energy, reduced compliance costs and bureaucratic hurdles for small businesses. Additionally, Trump's administration aimed to simplify the tax code, making it easier for small businesses to navigate.
