Consumer confidence is going to crash for Thanksgiving as the cost of the most expensive meal of the year skyrockets from unchecked inflation on food is realized. Till then people and markets are going to live in hopeful denial.

Wait until next Friday when Trump's "job numbers" are released, I think you'll be pleased to know that unemployment has fallen to -18.2% and he created 9.4 billion jobs in the last 30 days. Oh, and farm payroll tripled. Housing starts up 4500% and manufacturing productivity up 98,000%.

The British people again just named Donald Trump "the worst thing to have ever come out of the USA".
