CNN Hacks Tearing Hair Out to Explain Trump Economy It Spent Months Saying Was ‘Terrible’

Following the gangbusters’ September jobs report that vastly eclipsed expectations, CNN hacks are now awkwardly doing the Watusi dance to try and explain around why the Trump economy isn’t the disaster they said it was.

The November 20 headline from CNN Business Executive Editor David Goldman, senior economy writer Alicia Wallace, and senior reporter Matt Egan was just chef’s kiss: “Wait, I thought the economy was terrible. What happened?”

The authors gruffed over how “Entering this week, the perception of America’s economy was overwhelmingly negative.” But then, CNN’s apparent hopes to bury Trumponomics once and for all backfired. After the economy pumped 119,000 jobs into the market against expectations of a mere 50,000, “and killer earnings from Nvidia and Walmart – all within the span of about 18 hours –” the authors were left questioning, “is it possible the economy is better than anyone thought?”

These three stooges of CNN’s economic coverage, who are all on record spewing out some of the dumbest crapola to smear Trump’s economic agenda this past year, could only bring themselves to eke out a worthless “It’s complicated” as their excuse.

It’s not just the Left. A bunch of FReepers also think Trump’s doing a bad job with the economy. Honestly, there’s no president I trust MORE than Trump to fix what ails the economy. But after four years of runaway Bidenomics, it’s going to take time to straighten out.

I think viewership and ratings would drastically rise if they tried this radical concept:

Just report the news.
