Trump economy combines policies that create an interesting experiment

Trumps economy is a lot of different parts that haven’t ever really been tried together
You’ve got the Reagan like supply side tax cuts, increased energy production and deregulation
You’ve got immigration restriction legally and heavy deportations (2.5 mil deported)
You’ve got decreased federal spending and hiring (net decrease of 300k fed employees)
You’ve got an overhaul of the entire global trading system that’s actually producing more exports and fewer imports
You’ve got an industrial policy that’s investing and taking equity in companies with a national security interest and bringing production back domestically
You’ve got Huge capex investments and reshoring commitments
You’ve got a massive productivity increase through a tech breakthrough like in 90s
So far it’s given us 4.3% gdp growth, jobs are going to USnative born workers, not immigrants and federal jobs, wage growth increased and inflation down,
If the capex continues, 2026 could get closer to 5% gdp

I love morons like you. So cute. Ignorant as frick all, but cute.
Consumer spending expanded by 3.5% in the third quarter after rising 2.5% in the second quarter., GDP growth is up at 4.3% total (WOW), and inflation continues to go down (2.7% on the year)
Inflation under Biden was 7%, 6.5% (a recession) 3.4% and 2.9. Trumps first year has it down to 2.7%. Prices don't go down, they stagnate or quit ballooning, which is exactly what he has done. Meanwhile GDP is way up and wage growth is also up higher than inflation rates (above 3% wage growth).
Cry more, I guess.
Healthcare is Obamacare, nothing to do with Trump.

Almost as it was it building up America before the socialist made noises in early 1900’s. Then after 30 years of strife and building up through it again the commitments of self destruction started kicking in again in the 60’s

taking equity in companies
sounds a little bit like socialism to me...

This is a really great point you are making and not many have connected these dots. The US may be poised for a decade of major economic growth like we had in the 90s.

high groceries prices
They’re insanely expensive. Much cheaper to eat out these days than it is to eat at home.

One of the more retarded takes I’ve seen here recently. Congratulations.

That's a made-up nonsense number. Does anyone really believe this is the truth?

Yeah it is. America is now an economic Frankenstein monster. We're being screwed. Our "daddy", London and Switzerland have decided its time to pull the plug.
More QE money policies mean the dollar continues to spiral into Zimbabwe value.
Most of what's considered US economic "growth" and "investment" is based on MIC production AND the rampant epidemic of highly destructive, parasitic AI "Data Center" behemoths that tearing up American countrysides, monopolizing the public's supplies of water, electric and land. With ZERO federal oversight or regulation
Also:
-- Farms are being squeezed and bought by billionaire owners and dying, livestock is becoming tainted, and domestic food processing plants and supplies are contracting dramatically.
-- Deportation claims are wildly OVER-estimated. Over 50 million 3rd world border-crasher parasites still remain
-- Energy production is a disaster. Power plant infrastructure are ancient relics, needing desperately to be re-tooled, updated, and expanded (Trump High Command v1.0 and 2.0: "meh")
-- Public WATER SUPPLIES are being privatized and monopolized by Big Corporations. WHAT is the Trump High Command doing about this problem?
-- Fed employee decreases are only the result of AI replacement
-- Tariffs were/are a tax on American consumers
-- Trump's High Command is now channeling neocon war policies, a la John McCain, Lady Lindsey, and John Bolton
-- 3 International capital investment / equity firms (i.e. Blackrock) are basically buying up America. That's NOT "investment", it's piracy of the USA.

Yup. Some people refuse to believe their own eyes and ears, but instead "reports" and mirages the admin claims should be believed.

Slow jobs growth
- result of heavy deportations and cutting 300k fed employees
- a weak economy isn’t growing at 4.3%. Will get better next year as interest rates decrease and some areas of economy improve (housing/manufacturing)
- a lot of grocery prices coming down
- drug prices are coming down, Obamacare sucks tho

These numbers mean nothing when you are running a $2.0 trillion dollar deficit. They are Keynesian economics on steroids. Hell look at Biden in Q3 2023 and Q3 2024. He posted similar numbers if I remember correctly.

They’re actually going very heavy into nuclear.. unfortunately it takes a while to get going. But they’re putting a ton of resources into it

They cut the deficit by 600 billion
