Trump: ‘Fake news’ media doesn’t cover economic progress
President Trump early Sunday praised the growth of the United States economy and slammed “the fake news” for its coverage of the subject.
“Things are going really well for our economy, a subject the Fake News spends as little time as possible discussing!” Trump wrote on Twitter.
“Stock Market hit another RECORD HIGH, unemployment is now at a 17 year low and companies are coming back into the USA,” he added.
“Really good news, and much more to come!”

According to CNNMoney, the latest numbers reported by the government last week showed the unemployment rate stayed at a 17-year low.
Trump often takes credit for such success, writing on Twitter that his administration is contributing to stock market records and job numbers.
“Stock market hit yet another all-time record high yesterday,” Trump said on Nov. 7.
“There is great confidence in the moves that my Administration … is making. Working very hard on TAX CUTS for the middle class, companies and jobs!”
Trump on Sunday also said that Congress is getting closer to reaching a final version of the tax-reform bill.
“House and Senate working very hard and smart. End result will be not only important, but SPECIAL!” the president tweeted.
