ThisWeekABC All the winning with dumb Donnie s tax giveaway for billionaires! The tax plan completely bombed!

ThisWeekABC Good news, Trump will get to brag that the stock market hit 25,000 again. (For the fourth time).

Politics Liberal media desperate to discredit Trump's economy quick to grasp on any negative while glancing at best over all positive news.

Irony much from Wall Street? A 'surprise' lower than expected holiday sales? Government shutdown, rising interest rates, millions of pink slips. These all made news in December and Wall Street was surprised? Jeez, these people sure do not have a lot of common sense.

...and tomorrow they go up on reports of hopeful progress over China trade talks..down the next day over concerns about US consumer debt levels..down over concerns about China tradeThis is the story of institutional investment firms and big corps and all their own stock buybacks

When more Americans are behind their loans, such as car loans, than ever before it is no surprise U.S economy has not been as strong as our leaders say. It amazes how News station count 'consumer optimism' as how well our economy looks.

A 'surprising?' WTF is surprising about it? The gov was shutdown, unknown of when it was going to open back up. People not getting paychecks, some companies unable to ship products. Tax returns in limbo. Anyone who thinks this is a 'surprise' 🙄🙄🙄

I spent a lot of January missing work because of snow! I’m sure that factored into money I spent or didn’t spend shopping. Chillax.

Retail sales probably will be down as we all pay in to taxes this spring

It’s only half a percent. Chill out.

Record breaking shutdowns will do that.

If you want to know how the economy is doing, talk to retailers.

retail sales consumer FedClosure Don’t those sellers of stock realize 800,000+ workers without a paycheck will impact the economy in the red? Trickle down to doom! Trump owns this!

trumpEffect ?!?!

Why is this a surprise? After 35 days of shutdown & farms going bankrupt due to trade wars, this is expected.

Didn't gov shut down have something to do with it? The effect spread far beyond those immediately affected.

Why is it that Trump never tweets about the markets when they take a dive? If he takes credit for the markets when they go up, he should be taking the blame when they go down.

7 million car loans are more than 90 days behind in payments. Yes the concern is real.

Narrator: It's not healthy.

Huh, I can’t find my “I’m shocked” face. I guess it’s all worn out by now.

Cold, snow. Spent out for the 'Happy Holidays' season. Not unusual.

It was the shutdown!

Oh gee.... The DOW is almost to 25K! Run! Run for the hills everybody! 😏

But Donnie told me it's the best economy in the world....like ever.... Democrats Let's get United. 🌊🌊🌊🥂 This is my FBRParty FollowBackResistance Please: ⭐️1 Like ⭐️2 Retweet ⭐️3 Follow ⭐️4 Reply 💫5. Copy this tweet to your own. BlueWave BlueWave2018 FBR
