If you clicked on or shared that fake news story about Hillary Clinton saying in 2013 that she wished "honest" men like Donald Trump would run for president, or the one that says "your prayers have been answered" because the FBI says Clinton will be indicted in 2017, some young men in Veles, Macedonia — population 45,000 — would like to thank you. At least 140 U.S. politics websites, most of them repackaging fake or misleading news to U.S. political conservatives, have been set up in the town over the past year, BuzzFeed News reports, and it has led to "a digital gold rush" for the teenagers and young men who got in the Trump news game early enough.

The young men behind sites like WorldPolititcus.com, USConservativeToday.com, DonaldTrumpNews.co, and USADailyPolitics.com earn up to $5,000 a month, or more if their articles go viral in the U.S. on Facebook. While many of these digital entrepreneurs also run health sites aimed at the U.S. market, they discovered — after experimenting with Bernie Sanders and other left-leaning content — that fake news about Donald Trump was their ticket to relative wealth. "People in America prefer to read news about Trump," the 16-year-old Macedonian who runs BVANews.com tells BuzzFeed.

The biggest hits for these Macedonian sites are false or misleading articles, and the Macedonian millennials are responsible for much of the hyper-partisan fake news littering up Facebook, BuzzFeed says. The Macedonians interviewed for the article don't care about Trump except as a vehicle for making money. "If Trump loses I plan to redirect my site to sports," one teenager said. A Veles university student added: "Yes, the info in the blogs is bad, false, and misleading but the rationale is that 'if it gets the people to click on it and engage, then use it.'" As economist Noah Smith noted:

The glut of fake news isn't great for U.S. political culture, of course, and not all of it is from Macedonia. Earlier this week, Samantha Bee posted her eye-opening interview with two Russian state-sponsored internet trolls who spend their days posting inflammatory comments on Facebook and otherwise messing with the U.S. election on social media.

In Pennsylvania, Donald Trump has taken a narrow lead over Hillary Clinton, with 99 percent of the vote counted, giving him a 48.8 percent to 47.6 percent lead. The Associated Press has called it for Trump, which if confirmed, would essentially close out Clinton's path to victory. Peter Weber

The presidential race in Michigan is too close to call. With 84 percent of the vote in, Donald Trump has the narrowest of leads over Hillary Clinton, 48 percent to 47 percent. Libertarian Gary Johnson has 4 percent and the Green Party's Jill Stein has 1 percent. There are 16 electoral votes up for grabs. Catherine Garcia

The heated battleground state of New Hampshire is still too close to call, multiple networks are reporting. Hillary Clinton has a razor-thin lead of 47.7 to 47.2 — a difference of just a few hundred votes between them. An estimated 87 percent of the state's votes have been reported thus far. New Hampshire carries just four electoral votes, but they've proven critical in recent presidential elections. Kelly Gonsalves

Though the race is still too close to call, Donald Trump remains ahead in the traditionally red Arizona with 75 percent of the vote counted, beating opponent Hillary Clinton, 49 percent to 46 percent. Although not typically a battleground, Arizona has become a key player in this year's election, offering up 11 electoral votes to the victor. Kelly Gonsalves

The Simpsons really does seem to get things right.

In an episode that first aired in March 2000, "Bart to the Future," the Lisa Simpson of a possible future timeline is elected as America's "first straight female president" — only to face a serious financial calamity upon taking office.

"As you know, we've inherited quite a budget crisis from President Trump," President Simpson told her first meeting of economic advisers in the Oval Office. "How bad is it, Secretary (Milhouse) Van Houten?"

"We're broke."

Back to real life, and the Dow Jones and other futures markets are plummeting, and at least one major economist is predicting a "global recession with no end in sight." Eric Kleefeld
