  • Small-business owners
  • a group that emphatically cheered the election of President Donald Trump and a Republican Congress
  • now have nearly historic levels of uncertainty about the future.

The article from MSN discusses the shifting sentiments among small business owners following Donald Trump's election victory. Initially, many small business owners were optimistic, expecting that Trump's policies would foster a more business-friendly environment. However, this optimism has waned over time due to several factors including ongoing economic uncertainty, the handling of the global health crisis, and policy changes that have not met expectations.
