Fresh off being named TIME's Person of the Year (as TIME does with the winner of the presidential election), Donald Trump and J.D. Vance paid a visit to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and watch how much fun they're having:

J.D. Vance is such a fun, personable guy. And the traders all seem so genuinely happy to meet Vance and Trump.
The degree to which Trump has gone from, at best, a lesser evil to enthusiastically embraced by so many is truly astounding.

This writer noticed a very obvious shift in public attitudes towards Trump, including people -- from celebrities and athletes to the average Joe -- being very vocal about supporting Trump.
It's so refreshing to see REAL and contagious hope in people and not the feigned saccharin that we were subjected to for so long.

I can breathe.
Harris and Walz could not -- would not -- be this joyful or at ease.
Spoken like a true venture capitalist. 😂🇺🇸 #Vance2028

Heh. Nice reference.
“You’re going to make us a lot of money, sir.”

We hope so.
Haha Vance is awesome

He really is. There's a reason he was the most favored out of everyone on the presidential ticket this year.
It was the greatest, most successful bell ringing ever. We’ve never seen anything like that. #MAGA pic.twitter.com/3EstIoSDyr

Trump rang the bell to open trading.
Well done.

This writer isn't a stockbroker, but she's celebrating that, too.

That was fun.
For the first time I think he’s enjoying being president Trump. Trump seems changed. https://t.co/wwFh2v0ZWC

This writer saw a change in Trump after the assassination attempt. And understandably so: that changes a person. Trump is not the same as he was in 2016 and 2020.
He's still Trump, but there's been a change, and a positive one.
