Wall Street donors give to both sides, though they have admittedly soured on Trump's fascism and incompetence.

The two named at the top of the article, particularly JPM Chase's Dimon, is a big Dem donor. Goldman Sach's Solomon spreads it around a bit more, but most of it goes to Dems and Dem PAC's.

Read what I wrote rather than what you want to imply, Finn. You're talking about the article, I'm talking about the article's author. Time to move on.

Liz Ann Sonders, the chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, pointed out that the unemployment rate in the U.S. is below 4%, the longest period under that level since the 1970s.

If that's what you want to believe, and I hope the article is correct, then position your investments accordingly.
However, don't dismiss other evidence to the contrary. Yield curve inversion began in 2022, but is now at its lowest level since 1981. Yield curve inversion has also preceded the last 8 recessions.
The next recession, if it happens, will be a bipartisan creation. It will result from Fed rate-hiking (2022-23), which was undertaken to “fight” fast-rising inflation (2021-22), which the Fed caused by massive money "printing" and flooding the economy will billions in debt-spending (2020-21) in response to the COVID lockdowns (2020-21).
You can debate the wisdom of any or all of the above decisions. The one economic bright spot has been consumer spending, which remains resilient in a rather recession-proof manner. As the impact of COVID-related Federal spending starts filtering out of the economy, it will need to be seen if consumer spending continues to be as robust as it is today.

Good news for Joe. Bad news for the hate- and fear-mongers of the far Reich.
