WoW!

And Trump hasn't even become President yet.

All the doom and gloom predicted here in 1000s of topics has not happened.

Take anything printed on Zero Hedge written by "Tyler Durden" with a box full of salt.

Quote:
In 2009, shortly after the blog was founded, news reports identified Daniel Ivandjiiski, a Bulgarian-born former hedge-fund analyst who was barred from the industry for insider trading by FINRA in 2008, as the founder of the site, and reported that "Durden" was a pseudonym for Ivandjiiski.[5][7][8][1] One contributor, who spoke to New York magazine after an interview was arranged by Ivandjiiski, said that "up to 40" people were permitted to post under the "Durden" name.[5] The website is registered in Bulgaria at the same address as that of Strogo Sekretno, a site run by Ivandjiiski's father, Krassimir Ivandjiiski.[9] Zero Hedge is registered under the name Georgi Georgiev, a business partner of Krassimir Ivandjiiski.

Consumer confidence has risen, but I haven't found a legit source as of yet verifying that it's at its highest since the Lehman Bro. crash in 2007.

They were 100% correct about the election. This is far far better than the 100s of topics that you created here from the Fake News sites that said Hillary would win.

Too many regulations under Obama. It's jubilation now that we can be more free. No more vilifying business.

So...plans to buy a new car have dropped. Could that be because Trump has made more people aware of the fact that many of those cars aren't being built in the US?

Easy enough to confirm, not everything is a conspiracy:

The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index®, which had declined in October, increased significantly in November. The Index now stands at 107.1 (1985=100), up from 100.8 in October. (The Index stood at 111.9 in July 2007.)
Historical data has to be paid for but you can find other financial sites that post historical charts that seem to correlate the comparison.

Dear, if you consider the New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, et al, as "fake news sites" and yet you put your faith in web sites started by criminals in Bulgaria that have connections with Russian Intelligence it says a heck of a lot more about you than it does about me.

Again, specific to that information it seems to be pretty accurate. This does not imply that I think the NYT is fake, but in this case there appears to be no issue with what Zero Hedge is reporting.

I do consider them Fake News. They were 100% wrong about Trump, the election, and they were exposed by Wikileaks to be colluding with the Clinton campaign.

And.... The topic is not about me.

Indeed. It's easy enough to independently verify the information.

The fact that you don't see this on the front page of the NYT, WaPo and Politico speaks to their bias.

Obama is a failed president. The world is looking forward to seeing him gone.
