Everyone said that "dumb Trump" would put tariffs on our trading partners and ruin our economy. And what happened? Consumer confidence is at its highest since 2001
Lets point out that we were on the verge of a recesison in 2001.
It also happened to be the year another Republican won Presidency promissing tax-cuts fueling unrivaled period of economic growth....and ending his presidency on the middle of Great Recession.
Confidence shot up when Trump won and peaked slightly above that in 2018 when tax-cuts passed. So clearly the difference is not policy effects, the difference is a bunch of optimistic rightwingers.

And that would tell us what? That lefties aren't consumers? Do you fricken loons ever read what you write?
Yes moron, I not only read what I write I actually udnerstand it. There is a clear, undeniable, political factor to consumer confidence.
Yet you say the increase in consumer confidence is due to optimistic right-wingers….go figure. Dumbass.
..idiot, thats just another way of saying same thing.
Your screen name is seriously ironic.
