Trump economy sustained growth pace unlike anything seen in 13 years
The Trump economy may be doing something not seen since 2005 —growth at a 3 percent or better pace for three quarters in a row.
Economists were ratcheting up fourth quarter growth to 3 percent or better after strong fourth quarter retail sales and strong revisions to prior months.
The question is whether the trend can continue into the first quarter, which is typically weak and is vulnerable to weather impacts.
