President Trump’s pro-growth agenda is delivering for American families and workers. In 2025, the official poverty rate fell to its lowest recorded level, and real median household income reached an all-time high, rising 2.6 percent—more than the 1.9 percent gain over all four Biden years combined.

Despite Iran’s efforts to disrupt energy shipments, oil exports from the Persian Gulf are roaring back and have surpassed pre-conflict levels. The message is clear: Iran’s threats have failed to stop the flow of energy to global markets.

President Trump’s tax, trade, and regulatory policies are clearing the way for companies to build, invest, and hire in America. We have added 72,000 manufacturing jobs so far this year, after losing more than 200,000 in Biden’s final two years. Blue-collar manufacturing workers are also earning more: their weekly wages are up 3.5 percent after adjusting for inflation since President Trump took office.

Under @POTUS, the deficit is down $350B vs last year. Lowest reading since 2019. Cutting waste, boosting revenue, growing the economy. This is how we restore financial security
