"An administration that supports growth supports everyone," Paulson told CNBC in an exclusive interview on Thursday night.
Paulson said he increased his firm's long exposure to stocks following Donald Trump's win.
"American companies are going to retain more of their after tax income (with Trump's policies) which is a huge boost to earnings per share and the S&P 500,".
Paulson said that the companies will have more to invest and a better return on that investment.
Mr. Paulson was one of several prominent business titans at Washington's Union Station, who came to support the President-elect.
Among the heavy-hitters also in attendance were outspoken Trump supporter and billionaire investor Carl Icahn along with casino magnates Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn and NFL owners Daniel Snyder, Robert Kraft, Shad Khan, and Woody Johnson who Mr. Trump has tapped to be the new Ambassador to Great Britain.
