Since Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election,
there's been a lot of talk on Wall Street about the return of animal spirits.
People are excited for a deals and M&A comeback.
Basically, it is game on for mergers and acquisitions again.
Street excited, I think, for less regulation under Trump.
Right now, everyone wants a piece of the action.
Make no mistake.
You know, we certainly think that 2025 will be the year of deals.
Loads of deal making also fits in nicely with the Donald Trump brand that he's crafted for himself over the years.
Donald Trump has very studiously portrayed himself as a deal maker.
So anyone who wants to do deals is going to see a president who kind of speaks their language,
who is in favor of companies doing mergers and acquisitions and is going to remove some of the red tape that has been clogging up the system,
really, for the last few years.
