Two, presidents have little to nothing to do with most of these things. I don't give credit or blame to presidents for economic things unless they sign something that makes a substantial impact. Trump has not done this.
Policies and taxes are examples of things a president can do. There's ways he can give incentives to hiring people and spending money, as well as other things that it mentioned, like promoting buying American.
Even one of those examples can have a trickle-down impact and improve the rest.
I think it's also just confidence that Trump knows what he's doing business-wise and won't screw over business owners and bosses, so they see the potential in growth and reasons to hire.
