 Does  Trump  have $5.4 trillion worth of bragging rights? Wall Street says  Trump  can take some credit for stocks’ record-setting run  but certainly not all.
“He’s had the wind at his back ” says Tom Block  a policy analyst at New York-based Fundstrat Global Advisors.  Trump  is just being Trump   he  adds.

“Let  Trump  take credit  but  he ’ll also own it should the market ever tank ” says Axel Merk  president of Merk Investments.
