The numbers don’t lie and neither do the paychecks, job offers, or the revived confidence in America’s economy. Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance, the United States is not just recovering from years of stagnation and overregulation; we’re entering a golden era of growth, prosperity, and American resilience.
In the second quarter of this year, the U.S. economy grew 3.0%, shattering market expectations, leaving so-called “experts” stunned and confirming what millions of Americans already know: the America First economic agenda is working.
While the previous four years were marked by inflation, instability, and a dependence on foreign interests, the Trump-Vance Administration has ushered in an economic renaissance rooted in strength, sovereignty, and self-reliance. Real consumer spending surged by almost 300 percent from the first quarter of this year to the second. Inflation is down to 2.1%, from 3.7% last quarter, and real disposable income is rising.
Americans are keeping more of their hard-earned dollars, and they’re spending them with confidence again. For the Hispanic community, who disproportionately felt the pain of highly inflation, job insecurity, and wage stagnation under the previous administration, and other American families across the country, these aren’t just abstract statistics; they’re a lifeline.
And while the failed policies of the Left relied on bloated federal spending and gimmicks, President Trump’s recovery is powered by private-sector growth. Federal spending is down. Real business investment is up – by 1.9% this quarter alone. That’s nearly four times the average investment growth rate at the end of the Biden-Harris Administration. Manufacturing output is back on the rise, up 1.8% in just the first five months of President Trump’s second term, reversing the decline of the previous administration.
Perhaps nowhere is the revival clearer than in American industry. Auto output has skyrocketed, up 35.5% (the biggest increase since 2020) as President Trump’s “Made in America” policies reinvigorate the very sectors that built our middle class. Customs and tariff revenues have topped $150 billion this year alone, leading to the first June budget surplus in nearly a decade. America is investing in itself again and reaping the rewards.
This change is felt profoundly by every American, not just the wealthy or the well-connected.
And it’s not just economic stats. It’s the confidence Americans feel when they fill their gas tanks, walk into a job interview, or sign a mortgage. For five straight months, core inflation has remained under market expectations. Jobless claims have fallen six weeks in a row. Housing starts and building permits are rising again. In June alone, consumer spending, industrial production, and housing all exceeded projections.
The message is clear: America is back.
President Trump’s America First agenda doesn’t just mean prioritizing our own people over foreign interests—it means unleashing the potential of every American. It means empowering families, protecting jobs, and restoring the dignity of work. It means recognizing that prosperity isn’t something government can hand out. It is something that happens when government gets out of the way and lets the American people lead.
This is just the beginning. With President Trump and Vice President Vance at the helm, we’re witnessing the rebirth of the American economy, one that respects our workers, rewards our innovators, and secures a future of abundance and opportunity. From Miami to Milwaukee, from Bakersfield to the Bronx, Americans are ready for more. And under the Trump-Vance Administration, they’re going to get it.
The America First economic comeback is here. And it’s only getting started.
