Here’s How The Trump Economy Did on Christmas

The booming economy, between the tax cuts and rising wages, have produced the best holiday shopping in history. The Washington Examiner reports:

Retail spending over the holiday season surged to the highest in six years as the GOP-led tax cuts and a strong U.S. economy buoyed consumer sentiment.

Between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24, retail spending grew 5.1 percent to $850 billion, according to a Mastercard SpendingPulse report released on Wednesday. Apparel sales climbed 7.9 percent, and home improvement spending grew 9 percent.

“From shopping aisles to online carts, consumer confidence translated into holiday cheer for retail,” Steve Sadove, senior adviser for Mastercard, said in a statement. “By combining the right inventory with the right mix of online versus in-store, many retailers were able to give consumers what they wanted via the right shopping channels.”

Experts were anticipating a strong holiday shopping season, as the retail industry at-large performs well.

Hoping that next year will be even better.

But what do we hear on the news? How President Trump may or may not have taken Santa out of Christmas for one little boy!!! Not how President & Mrs. Trump made a surprise visit to the troops in Iraq? Not about the strength of the economy. Not that the Democrats all wanted a wall/fence/barrier BEFORE candidate Trump mentioned that he wanted a wall, and now they pretend that they NEVER wanted a wall? Sick of the HYPOCRITICAL MEDIA AND THE HYPOCRITICAL DEMOCRATS!!!!

Burning coal is racist. Find something white like those notes handed out during H. W.’s funeral.

Thank you President Trump!!! I’m sure Hussein will be trying to hijack the credit for our current Presidents economy. We remember though, make no mistake about that! We know how Hussein desired and still desires to completely destroy our economy.
Thank you Pres Trump, we know the truth!
