Donald Trump Rings Opening Bell and Visits NYSE Floor

President-elect Donald Trump rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange and vowed to lower the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15%. The event marked Trump being named Time Magazine's "Person of the Year." He was joined by Vice President-elect JD Vance, prominent Cabinet nominees and family members. Trump also went down to the trading floor and met with traders who cheered him on, and he accepted a t-shirt to mark the occasion.
