Thank you President Trump?

Ahem. You do realize that the 10 years means that you're comparing it to the worst economic downturn, from Bush's years, since the Great Depression, that Obama worked to pull us back from?

Americans are not feeling the wage gains. No surprise. Business as usual under Trump.

How come consumer confidence hit an 18-year high? Sounds like you don't speak for "Americans."
