President Trump’s economy is doing what Joe Biden’s never could—actually growing and gaining real confidence from the rest of the world. While the media scrambles to find any bad news they can spin, the numbers speak for themselves. GDP is up. Foreign investments are pouring in. Tariff revenue is setting records. And inflation? Still not where Trump wants it, but it’s a far cry from the 9% disaster we got under Biden.
Let’s talk facts. The Dow is up over 10% in 2025. GDP growth is at a strong 3.8%, compared to Biden’s sleepy 2.8% last year. Tariff revenue under President Trump? A monster $195 billion this year—more than double what we saw in 2024.
And while Democrats love to moan about how nobody trusts America anymore, here’s a reality check: foreign nations are buying up U.S. Treasury bonds like they’re going out of style. In May 2025 alone, they bought $318.5 billion worth—the highest monthly total ever recorded. Under Biden? They couldn’t dump them fast enough.
Foreign direct investment is also booming. We’re on track for $400 to $600 billion this year. That’s real money, real jobs, and real factories coming to the U.S.—not empty climate pledges or “green jobs” that never show up.
Gas prices? Down from Biden’s $3.51 average to $3.08 in 2025.
Inflation is still a bit high at 3%, but that’s a heck of a lot better than Biden’s 9% meltdown. Experts predict it will hit the ideal 2% mark in early to mid 2026.
And real wages are finally rising. Employers are giving its workers big raises, bonuses, commissions and other earnings to keep pace with the economy. Americans are actually taking home more money in 2025 than ever before.
Now, it’s not all perfect. Job growth is still slow, and the labor force participation rate dipped slightly. But Trump is playing the long game. We’re talking about fixing the foundation—laying the groundwork for real, lasting economic power. Something Treasury Secretary Bessett has been saying. He predicts in either the first or second quarter of 2026 all of the President’s hard foreign policy work will come home to roost and Americans will finally start to feel all of the Trump administration’s hard work to relieve workers economic pressure.
That is if President Trump can avoid all of the carefully laid traps Democrats have been laying for him over the last 11 months. Trump isn’t out of the woods yet and the 2026 mid-terms are still looking pretty spicy for Republicans at this point. But Victor Davis Hanson has some great advice for how Trump can avoid all of the political land minds Democrats have been laying out for him and come out victorious post 2026 midterms if you care to watch…
