保守派专家和福克斯新闻主持人对黑色星期五网上购物销售创纪录的报道感到欢欣鼓舞,称赞“特朗普经济”允许购物者今年花更多的钱。
周六,在奥多比分析数据发布后,从共和党议员到福克斯商业网络小组成员,这些保守人士都对唐纳德·特朗普总统大加赞赏表现黑色星期五支出创下54亿美元的新纪录,比去年增长22%以上。转折点美国创始人查理·柯克(Charlie Kirk)声称,消费者看穿了主流媒体所谓的将美国“吓到”衰退的努力,相反,他们成群结队地在节日礼物上花费过高的钱,主要是通过网上购物。
A巴伦圆桌会议福克斯商业网周六的一个小组敦促消费者在网络星期一上花更多的钱,奥多比预测销售额将达到94亿美元,比去年增长18.9%。
“繁荣:微软的‘专家’试图把我们吓到衰退,但消费者并不相信。感恩节购物者花费了创纪录的41亿美元——比去年黑色星期五的花费增长了14%,达到创纪录的54亿美元——增长了22%,这就是特朗普的经济在起作用!”TPUSA总裁柯克周六早上在推特上评论道。
嘣:
MSM上的“专家”试图把我们吓到衰退
但是消费者不会购买它。
感恩节购物者花费了创纪录的41亿美元,比去年增长了14%
黑色星期五支出增长22%,达到创纪录的54亿美元
这是特朗普经济在起作用!

佛罗里达共和党众议员马特·盖兹周五在福克斯新闻上露面后发推特说:“如果你看看特朗普的经济,它每天都在为美国人创造机会。”。
选民关心他们自己的需求,他们自己的挑战,以及他们自己生活中的机会。

许多特朗普的批评者将黑色星期五的赞扬与前总统乔治·布什在2001年9月11日袭击后敦促美国人去购物相提并论。
福克斯新闻供稿人和福克斯商业网主持人查尔斯·佩恩周六在尼尔·卡弗托的节目中说,尽管有一些保守的渠道,美国的购物中心仍然“拥挤不堪”,包括德拉吉报告表示担心实体购物中心本周末可能会空置,因为亚马逊等电子商务服务已经接管了假期。
柯克并不是唯一一个指责所谓主流媒体新闻机构和民主党对手想要引发衰退的人。市政厅的一名专栏作家甚至写了一篇文章,阐述了破坏经济和消费主义的企图是如何追溯到“左翼英雄”菲德尔·卡斯特罗和切·格瓦拉的。
一些保守的渠道,包括德拉吉报告在黑色星期五到来之前,有人表示担心,由于亚马逊等电子商务服务接管零售假期,购物中心将会空无一人。“黑色星期五公寓?周六早上,马特·德拉吉的聚合网站哀叹道:“梅西的幽灵,镇上的人群越来越少了。”。
根据奥多比分析公司的数据,黑色星期五的支出创下了54亿美元的新纪录,比一年前增长了22.3%。奥多比分析公司衡量了美国100大在线零售商中80家的交易量。总支出预计仍将达到76亿美元,仅次于去年网络星期一的79亿美元。
根据奥多比的数据,42%的网上销售被亚马逊吸收了。
福克斯商业网络小组成员一再敦促消费者在网络星期一之前追求“划算的交易”和“经济实惠的礼物”,其中包括一个建议购买4000美元香奈儿包的人。
“这是一个节日,一点欢乐,一点节日,一份真正的礼物...得到一些他们通常不会为自己购买的东西巴伦圆桌会议,在小组讨论中评论。
主持人吹捧说,消费者最终“了解”了移动支付基础设施,以及美国老年人是如何通过苹果支付和在线信用卡购买产品的。
据福克斯新闻报道,在总统声称左派积极分子试图改变节日名称后,社交媒体整个星期都开玩笑说“特朗普还给我们感恩节”。
我迫不及待地想说,“特朗普总统今晚在疯狂购物期间把黑色星期五还给我们了”。我希望所有的购物者停止他们的所作所为,和我一起鼓掌哭泣。ðÿ'ðÿðÿ˜

FOX NEWS, CONSERVATIVES TOUT 'TRUMP ECONOMY' BOOSTED BLACK FRIDAY, LIBERAL 'RECESSION' ATTEMPTS FAILED
onservative pundits and Fox News hosts rejoiced at reports of record Black Friday online shopping sales, praising the "Trump economy" for allowing shoppers to spend even more money this year.
Those conservative figures ranging from a GOP congressman to Fox Business Network panelists praised President Donald Trump Saturday after Adobe Analytics data showed Black Friday spending hit a new $5.4 billion record, up more than 22 percent from last year. Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk claimed consumers saw through the supposed efforts of mainstream media to "scare" the U.S. into a recession, and instead turned out in droves to spend exorbitant amounts of money on holiday gifts, primarily through online shopping.
A Barron's Roundtable panel on Fox Business Network Saturday urged consumers to spend even more money on Cyber Monday, which Adobe predicted will hit $9.4 billion in sales, an 18.9 percent increase from last year.
"BOOM: The 'experts' on the MSM tried to scare us into a recession But consumers aren't buying it. Thanksgiving shoppers spent a record $4.1 BILLION—up 14% over last year Black Friday spending is up 22% to a record high of $5.4B This is the Trump economy at work!" Kirk, the TPUSA president, remarked on Twitter Saturday morning.

"HUGE! Consumer confidence in@RealDonaldTrump's economy is at a level that hasn't been seen in twenty years!" the Trump War Room Twitter account blared earlier this week.

"If you look at the Trump economy, the hottest in the world, it's creating that opportunity for Americans each and every day," Florida GOP congressman Matt Gaetz tweeted Friday after an appearance on Fox News.
Voters are concerned about their own needs, their own challenges, and their own opportunities in their lives.

Many Trump critics had compared the Black Friday praise to former President George W. Bush urging Americans to go shopping following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Fox News contributor and Fox Business Network host Charles Payne, speaking on Neil Cavuto's show Saturday, bragged that U.S. malls are "packed" despite some conservative outlets, including The Drudge Report, expressing concern that brick-and-mortar shopping centers may be empty this weekend because e-commerce services such as Amazon had taken over the holiday.
Kirk was not alone in his accusation that so-called mainstream media news outlets and Democratic opponents wanted to spark a recession. A Townhall columnist even penned an essay mapping out how attempts to ruin the economy and consumerism date back to "leftist heroes" Fidel Castro and Che Guevara.
Some conservative outlets, including The Drudge Report expressed concern in the lead-up to Black Friday that malls would be empty due to e-commerce services such as Amazon taking over the retail holiday. "Black Friday Flat? Macy's Ghost, Town Crowds Thin Out," lamented Matt Drudge's aggregate site Saturday morning.
Black Friday spending hit a new record of $5.4 billion, up 22.3% from a year ago, according to data pulled from Adobe Analytics, which measures transactions from 80 of the top 100 U.S. online retailers. Total spending is still expected to hit $7.6 billion, second biggest behind $7.9 billion spent on Cyber Monday last year.
According to Adobe, 42 percent of all online sales were soaked in by Amazon.
The Fox Business Network panelists repeatedly urged consumers to pursue "great deals" "financially savvy gifts" ahead of Cyber Monday, including one who suggested a $4,000 Chanel bag.
"It's a holiday, a little joy, a little festivity, an actual present...get something they wouldn't normally buy for themselves," said one panelist of Barron's Roundtable, remarked during the panel discussion.
The hosts touted that consumers finally "figured out" the mobile payment infrastructure and how older Americans are buying products through Apple Pay and online credit card usage.
Social media jokes throughout the week quipped that "Trump gave us Thanksgiving back," after the president had claimed leftist activists were trying to change the name of the holiday, as reported by Fox News.
I can’t wait to say “President Trump gave us Black Friday back†tonight during the shopping madness. I hope all shoppers stop what they’re doing to clap and cry with me. ðŸ‘🽠ðŸ˜
