(Serious question and not sure which sub) How come despite Trump's economy being a record success the retail scene didn't match up to the Bush era of the early 00s?

At least here locally in Oregon there hasn't been quite a time like the early 00s where things in Oregon boomed and towns had record growth. Bend had it's best boom then actually and it appeared at one point they were ready to merge with Redmond by 2020:
I kept hearing how good the numbers were from CONservative news sources but the actual reality didn't quite live up to the hype. https://www.bing.com/search?q=retail+store+closings+2018&qs=RI&pq=2018+retail+store+clos&sc=1-22&cvid=4DE0E5BE48804D6CAC2E7BDB2DBBD6ED&FORM=QBLH&sp=1
I waited with abated breath but it was all in vain and now we are REALLLY sunk deep in the mud making the retail crisis look good!

Because internet access to the same or similar retailers in a more optimized way gave us the option to not have to interact with retarded teenagers and failed adults.

For example we didn't get Jack in The Box till the late 90s and malls rennovated,etc and big businesses expanded as fast as the Paradise fire. Oregon was a great time in the early 00s and we were STILL piss poor compared to the rest of the US yet it didn't seem to have mattered so much being in our backwards farm state.
