"Retail sales were flat in December following a 0.6% increase in November. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected an increase of 0.4%.
On an annual basis, sales rose 2.4%, failing to keep up with inflation, as the consumer price index for December posted a 2.7% increase."
Multiple tips that the delayed jobs report will be bad.
Trump saying jobs report may be bad because "I've cut hundreds of thousands of jobs."
Pete Navarro on Fox: "We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like" -- because, get this -- "we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."
This after telling us for a year that Trump's ethnic cleansing will lower unemployment because all those dirty immigrants are taking jobs away from real Americans!
These are deeply stupid people and Trump has a toddler's mentality and below toddler cognitive skills, but no clue what he is doing.
He's decimating the American economy. Taking workers out of the economy *and* raising unemployment quite the brace for Kim Som Orange. I predict he will blame Biden. Along with the immigrants he's sent to torture prison.
