He earlier retweeted one of his previous tweets quoting a report from the National Association of Manufacturers that touted U.S. consumer confidence.
“The Conference Board said that consumer sentiment was at its highest level in nearly 17 years in November. The Consumer Confidence Index rose from 126.2 in October to 129.5, notching its best reading since December 2000...” https://t.co/iNOtT3K8Vn

The president often boasts about stock market gains and signs of economic improvement under his administration.
The tweet comes as the White House works with Senate Republicans to pass tax reform, which would mark the administration and congressional Republicans' first legislative victory since taking control of the White House and Congress in January.
