Leftists: why does this man I hate who appears to be a complete idiot do so much of a better job as president than I or anyone who shares my beliefs could ever do?

"The Commerce Department said on Wednesday retail sales increased 0.5 percent last month. But data for June was revised lower to show sales gaining 0.2 percent instead of the previously reported 0.5 percent rise."

funny how those numbers tend to get revised down after the fact. .5% BTW is historically weak.

Groms...what did your 401k look like this week? :shrug:
This week: -0.71%
Since Inauguration Day: +13.67%

Your point???
equities remain uber bullish; nothing short of a shotgun to the head is going to stop this bull.
