We don't know that for sure, but it does appear likely that many of the reports are cooked. As for the market being "socialism for the rich", I won't argue with you there. I track prices closely at times and it seems like there is a machine ready to propel the market higher from certain levels. I am quite amazed to see the S&P rally 10-15 points in a matter of a couple of minutes at times when it looks like it is just about to tank big time. As for China, if things deteriorate enough on the trade front, which I doubt, I would not put it past China to set off shock waves in the form of selling a massive block. Doubtful, but possible if Trump goes to far. Dumbo Trump thinks the whole world has no choice but to cowtow to his trade demands.

I saw Donald on TV this afternoon and he made a statement, " the economy is doing fantastic and I expect a strong jobs number tomorrow." That's a pretty serious statement. I wonder if he already knows what the numbers will be. All the numbers prior to tomorrow's report point to a high wage number in percentage terms. Market watch has hourly wages pegged at . 3% increase.
