The U.S. Consumer Confidence Index for December surged nearly four points to 113.7, THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN MORE THAN 15 YEARS! Thanks Donald!Yes. Seriously. He sent out a tweet congratulating himself in the third person. The man is beyond belief.
Anyway, Kevin Drum makes the solid observation that the same consumer confidence metric The Stain referenced increased 84 points during the Obama administration. And, of course, a 5-point increase over a month is as likely to be noise as it is anything to do with The Stain's impending presidency.
But hey, this is clearly one way in which he wants his presidency to be measured. So fair enough, let's go ahead and thank him for the increase from 109 to 113.7. And let's be sure to revisit this metric after a year of unfettered Republican control of the government to see how things are going.
