It would be startling if the anti-Trump media told the truth. Hiding the facts is expected with today’s media.
The valuations of equities (stocks) is one part of the story, for which there are ample reasons to be skeptical.
But any financial skepticism is not why most of the mainstream media is not all bubbly and giddy about the recent meteoric rise of the stock market.

That's it. Folks who earn a living (as opposed to being addicted to the Government Tit) are usually of a more independent mind.
Certainly, the Founders and Framers of our Constitution for a limited government would be pleased that there is some return (though late and even small) to the principles upon which they framed that Constitution:
"The situation in which I now stand for the last time, in the midst of the representatives of the people of the United States, naturally recalls the period when the administration of the present form of government commenced, and I can not omit the occasion to congratulate you and my country on the success of the experiment, nor to repeat my fervent supplications to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe and Sovereign Arbiter of Nations that His providential care may still be extended to the United States, that the virtue and happiness of the people may be preserved, and that the Government which they have instituted for the protection of their liberties may be perpetual." = G. Washington - 8th Annual Address
