•Corporate America is willing to invest money on a longer-term basis under President Trump, real estate mogul Sam Zell says.
•Zell points to deregulation and promises of tax cuts and massive infrastructure spending as major positives for business.
•Continued improvement in underlying economic growth continues to "surprise," he says.

Corporate America is willing to invest money on a longer-term basis under President Donald Trump than the previous "anti-business administration" of Barack Obama, real estate mogul Sam Zell told CNBC on Tuesday.

"Bluntly, the only way I can square anything is I focus on what gets done, not what's said," the billionaire said on "Squawk Box." "On a measure of what's gotten done, I believe there's been very significant change since Trump was elected in November, and change that is positive."

“On a measure of what’s gotten done, I believe there’s been very significant change since Trump was elected in November, and change that is positive.”


Although you have to admit, it would be difficult not to have positive change following eight years of Barry the Magnificent Zero.

While it is nice to hear positive feedback from someone so wealthy, part of the problem now, is that wealthy people have offshored American industry.

They really, really have sold out bigtime. I don’t know if this person has, I am completely unfamiliar with him, but what America really needs is for our government to (aggressively) start to be pro-American production once again.

THAT is what we need. Big time.

How does one offshore real estate? He’s a real estate developer.

Right.

Might be EXACTLY the sort of person to have involved with bringing production back stateside.

Our own “manufacturing” is completely sold out.

Completely.
