It’s amazing what a difference it makes when people know that the president is a friend of businesses and job creators. Trump isn’t even in office yet and he’s having a very positive effect on the American economy.

Bloomberg reports:

U.S. Consumer Confidence Jumps to Highest Level Since 2001

Consumer confidence climbed in December to the highest level since August 2001 as Americans were more upbeat about the outlook than at any time in the last 13 years, according to a report Tuesday from the New York-based Conference Board.

Key Points

Confidence index increased to 113.7 (forecast was 109) from a revised 109.4 in November

Measure of consumer expectations for the next six months rose to 105.5, the highest since December 2003, from 94.4

Present conditions index fell to 126.1 from 132

Share of Americans expecting better business conditions six months from now rose to 23.6 percent, the highest since February 2011, from 16.4 percent

Big Picture

American households are expecting a Donald Trump administration to deliver. They are more upbeat about the prospects for the economy, labor market and their incomes, according to the Conference Board’s report. The results corroborate surveys by the University of Michigan and the National Federation of Independent Business, which showed jumps in household and business sentiment on Trump’s pledges to boost jobs, cut taxes and ease regulations.

Things are going to get a lot better, folks.
