US Capitalism Under the Trump Administration, Directed Mainly By Donald Trump and Ex Goldman Sachs Partners Steven Mnuchin and Gary Cohn, Is Seriously Broken When the Two Largest US Banks (JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo) Generate 14% More in Total Earnings in the 2Q 2017, or $12.877 Bil, Than the Entire Massive, Very Broad, Critical US Chemical and Allied Products Manufacturing Industry, With 56 Companies Posting 2Q 2017 Total Earnings of $11.290 Bil and With So Many Good-Paying US Jobs

From a review of the Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the huge number of 56 Chemicals and Allied Products Manufacturing Companies  (SEC Standard Identification Codes 2800s) headquartered in the US with Stock Market Capitalizations of more than $1 Bil very recently and which have filed their Calendar Second Quarter 2017 Financial Statements with the SEC. 

Below here are the Total Reported US GAAP Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for the Second Calendar Quarters of both 2017 and 2016 for each of these 56 largest Chemicals and Allied Products Manufacturing Companies.
