Why do media "economists" predictions about the Trump economy remain so consistently gloomy when the results keep coming in so consistently strong?

[RingOfFire]

Why are the consistently excellent economic results under Trump so good yet the "expectations" in the media continue to remain so consistently bad? After a while do not the gloomy expectations followed beats on every metric start to sound like wishful thinking? A curious phenomenon among "economists."

It's like betting on a horse that wins every race to lose and then losing over and over again. And they never seem to get it.

The U. S. economy grew at a much greater-than-expected pace in the third quarter, boosted by strong consumer spending, a delayed report released Tuesday showed U. S. GDP expanded by 4.3% in the July-September period, the Commerce Department said in its initial reading of third-quarter growth. Economists polled by Dow Jones expect a gain of 3.2%.

Consumer spending expanded by 3.5% in the third quarter after rising 2.5% in the second quarter.

Because, it's not their job to tell you the news! Their ONLY job is to get you to PASSIONATELY HATE Trump at ANY cost!!! Have ya noticed how that only works on the stupid people? The ones that BELIEVE all the bullshit and lies while the facts point the completely opposite direction?
Have you ever heard of The Illuminati? Most people in show biz and politics are members or involved! Sure, they put on a great show, republicans hating democrats and vice versa but, they're actually both working on the same team so, it doesn't really matter which one wins, you're still gonna get the same old shit!! Well, Trump's not a part of that club and he's doing what he can to destroy it or let us see what's really going on and they can't stand that and THAT'S why they keep bashing and smearing Trump at every turn!!! He refuses to play their game so they refuse to support him in any way!!
I think, in a meeker way, Reagan was that way, too, which was why they hated him so much, and I'm pretty sure that's part of the reason Kennedy got it!! Ike warned us just before leaving office! That's why I say that, with the exception of Reagan and Trump, we've never had a good, honest President since Kennedy!! Sure, he fucked around with a few women on the side but he WASN'T fucking over the country!!

Like everything else. When Trump has a success there is never any mention of it in the fake news. The rare failure is broadcast 24/7 . If Trump stumbles over a couple of his lines in a speech he is suddenly senile and lets use the 25th amendment on him and we had a very senile president for 4 years and the press was okay with it.

I know day to day costs of things and investments are not the same thing but we made 18% gains on all of our investments this year. It was a huge year.
