"""TRUMP EFFECT: RECORD HOLIDAY SALES NEAR $600 BILLION; Expert: Spending Pace Not Seen Since Great Recession""""

Retailers are reporting record holiday sales this season of $598 billion as of Christmas Eve, fueled by confidence in the pro-business, pro-jobs economic polices of President Donald Trump of cutting Obama-era regulations and enacting major tax cuts and reforms. Yet media reports by CBS, AP and the Wall Street Journal all failed to mention President Trump in their reports on the record sales. The Drudge Report however is leading Monday night with a photo and headline crediting Trump with the boom in sales over a link to the WSJ article that doesn’t credit Trump, “GREAT AGAIN: RETAILERS FEEL CHRISTMAS CHEER”

The only effect Obama&Co gave was extended unemployment checks.

I’m visiting friends for the holidays and they have something I don’t: cable tv.

Last night I watched some MSNBC and there was a panel discussion about how the latest Mueller victories are spelling the imminent demise of the Trump presidency. I had to pull out my phone and search FR, search Drudge, search google news. I found nothing. What were these morons going on about? What alternate universe do they inhabit. It was hardball with a severely aging Chrissy mathews. He pronounced the panel “esteemed”. One of the panel morons was from the New York Times. Can’t get more esteemed than that, I guess. Certainly Chrissy was mightily impressed.

But seriously. What do they think they’ve got on Trump. I couldn’t make heads or tails of their glee.

Probably since 2010 I think is what they meant. Typically, the first year out of a recession has the fastest increase in ..well everything in an economic cycle.

I survived therefore it was good.

Later this week, I will do Christmas stuff for myself. One thing from Harbor Freight and hopefully the macro lens for the GH4.
