US Consumer Confidence Rises to 18-Year High
AND THE TRUMP WINS KEEP ON COMING …
As reported by the AP, United States consumer confidence rose to an 18 year high to 133.4 in August. The Donald Trump wins keep on coming America. But of course the LEFT, Democrats, Never-Trumpers and liberal media would credit Obama for this. Mo matter whether you like him or not or disapprove of his tweets or not, President Donald Trump is good for America, Just off the successful negotiation of NAFTA with Mexico in creating a more favorable trade deal for the US, an ever-rising stock markets setting new highs, comes this great economic news.
Americans’ consumer confidence rose in August to the highest level in nearly 18 years as their assessment of current conditions improved further and their expectations about the future rebounded.
The Conference Board reported Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose to 133.4 in August, up from a reading 127.9 in July. It was the highest reading since confidence stood at 135.8 in October 2000.
Consumers’ confidence in their ability to get a job and the overall economy are seen as important indicators of how freely they will spend, especially on big-ticket items such as cars, in coming months. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity.
AMERICA, YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN END ALL THIS WINNING, BY HANDING THE HOUSE AND SENATE TO THE DEMOCRATS. Think about that this coming midterm election before you vote. Do you want to continue the successes under Trump, or do you want it all wiped away and go back to the Obama economy and food stamps?

Target CEO Says About the Economy: This is the best consumer environment ‘I’ve seen in my career’
JUST SAY THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE DEPLORABLES WHO VOTED FOR HIM …
As reported at CNBC, Target CEO Brian Cornell raved about the state of the economy stating that this is the best consumer environment ‘I’ve seen in my career’. Target saw an unprecedented growth in same-store sales and foot traffic during the second quarter. But wait, I thought the internet was the destruction of bricks and mortar stores? The fact of the matter is that in a great economy, all succeed. Does that mean all, of course not. But when a President like Trump creates an environment conducive to business, stability and rids business of unnecessary regulations, look what is possible. It is no accident that this occurred while Donald Trump was in office and it would appear that the LEFT, Democrats and the liberal MSM all want this to go away. They want to be back in power and back to the old ways when the economy barely moved along.
Consumer spending is back and has never been better as far as Target CEO Brian Cornell is concerned.
“There’s no doubt that, like others, we’re currently benefiting from a very strong consumer environment — perhaps the strongest I’ve seen in my career,” Cornell told analysts on a call Wednesday.
The retailer’s shares are surging after reporting fiscal second-quarter results that beat on earnings, revenue and comparable store sales. Just when many investors have written off brick-and-mortar retailers in the era of Amazon, Target is seeing a huge jump in foot traffic.
“We’re seeing a great consumer response … unprecedented traffic. As we go back and look, we’ve never seen traffic growth like this,” Cornell said Wednesday morning on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
The big-box retailer also said digital sales skyrocketed more than 40 percent during the second quarter, as it’s been investing in adding more items to its website and adding more delivery options for online orders. Building on that momentum, Target raised its earnings outlook for the full year.
America, this is what Making America Great Again looks like … keep it going. But a word of warning, it will never look like it is today with a Democrat controlled Senate or House of Representative, Think about that come election day.

Rasmussen Poll Finds that President Trump at 36% Approval Among African-Americans
IF TRUE, IF EVEN HALF OF THIS NUMBER IS CORRECT, DEMOCRATS ARE IN BIG TROUBLE …
As reported at USA Today, a recent Rasmussen poll showed that President Donald Trump has a 36% approval rating among African-Americans. This is up from 19% last year, while Trump garnered 8% of the black vote during the 2016 Presidential election. How could this be? If you listen to the liberal, hate Trump MSM you would think that this could never be true. But wait, wasn’t it candidate Trump who said to blacks and other minority groups during his campaign, “give me a chance, what do you have to lose?” Maybe, just maybe they are seeing the record low black unemployment numbers, the booming economy and the benefits they have received from the Trump-GOP tax cuts. Maybe its because black owned businesses is up 400% from last year. Is it any wonder why Pastor Darrell Scott stated that Donald Trump was the most Pro-Black President i his lifetime.
The LEFT’s worst nightmare … Trump “is probably going to be… the most pro-black president I’ve seen in my lifetime”
Even as cable news networks debate reports of the existence of a recording of President Donald Trump using a racial slur, a new poll from Rasmussen Reports says that the president’s approval rating among African-Americans is at 36 percent, nearly double his support at this time last year.
“Today’s @realDonaldTrump approval ratings among black voters: 36%,” Rasmussen said in a tweet. “This day last year: 19%.”
That is a staggeringly high number for a man who only won 8 percent of the African-American vote in 2016.
Make no mistake about it, President Trump has done great things for the black community and he didn’t pander to them. By making America great again, we all came along for the ride. And if, just if blacks do silently support President Trump, much like the forgotten men and women did in 2016 … then is it no wonder why the Left, the media and Democrats are panicking and going after Trump like they are.

Youth Unemployment Hits 52-Year Low … Making America Great Again for the Youth Too
DON’T LOOK NOW BUT TRUMP IS GOOD FOR MILLENNIAL JOBS ALSO …
In a WSJ article, Youth unemployment has hot a 52 year low. Youth unemployment is the unemployment of young people, defined by the United Nations as 16–24 years old. Many of these people for the past 8 years of Obama and final years of GWB have struggled to ever be employed. A 24 year old youth may have never been able to get a job due to the bad economy, restriction of jobs available and older individuals having to take positions that were once deemed high school jobs.
NO LONGER.
As stated at the WSJ, Americans between the age of 16 and 24 had its lowest midsummer jobless rate since 1966. This is what President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” means. Individuals who have suffered previously, once again have a chance to grow and prosper. This youth unemployment low is in line with the record low unemployment rates for blacks, Hispanics, Asians and women. The economy is roaring and it is due to Trump cutting regulations, the Republican-Trump tax cuts and creating a table environment for business to flourish.
