The Trump Economy has delivered record-low poverty rates AND big increases in incomes. We have a construction boom going on in America thanks to AI and data centers. There’s just one big sore thumb in the economy: high oil prices.

the interesting part is that AI turning into a very physical capex cycle. chips, concrete, transformers, substations, transmission, cooling. none of that gets built in the cloud.

If climate Nazis would open a book about photosynthesis, and it's role in climate control.. we could drill here.. and pay pennies a gallon.

That “sore thumb” affects everything and will cost us the election in November.

Perhaps you should have opined on what the price of oil would be if Iran succeeded in its attempt to attain a nuclear weapon. You think that might impact inflation?

Lowering interest rates puts more money in people's pockets. It's time to end the fed. The feds job is to keep people in debt and when they climb out of it, put them back in it.

And that sore thumb is what makes the world go around.

🚨 LET THIS MARINATE IN YOUR BRAIN FOR A WHILE 🚨 President Trump just dropped HISTORIC, UNPRECEDENTED economic numbers and the silence from the media is DEAFENING. 💥🇺🇸 5.1% GDP surge. Black household income UP 4.8% — the BIGGEST gain of any group. Poverty plunging. Jobless claims falling. Everyday Americans winning. He hasn’t even unleashed the GREAT stuff yet. How is ANYONE still against this man? How? The media will NEVER show you this. They can’t. It destroys their entire narrative. Save this. Screenshot it. Come back to it in 6 months. LET. IT. MARINATE. 🧠🔥🇺🇸

Yeah taking taxes from working class and giving free money to ppl using EITC is theft as you brag why don't you make rich pay more and cover the parasite class who get a free ride

Well lets talk about the increase in cost of goods, those income increases mean nothing. When the current dollar cannot buy as much.

How about a sluggish GDP?

🚨Average price of oil barrel using constant dollars-NIXON 1968 through TRUMP 2🚨 📊Charts examine the average price per barrel during each administration from 1969-2026 using constant dollars. 💰Constant dollars are currency values adjusted for inflation to reflect the same purchasing power across different time periods. ➡️Trump 2 average is currently $85 which is lower than: Biden $98 Obama 1 $122 GW Bush 2 $115 Reagan 1 $102 Carter $118 **$4 over Obama 2 Lowest averages 📉 2000-2026: Trump 1 $46 GW Bush 1 $52 💵Trump 2 average will adjust during remaining term (2 yrs 3 mths). Brief context is noted for each Administrstion period in chart. ⛴️As Hormuz Strait traffic continues toward pre-conflict level (see tanker tracker) + Saudi-UAE-Iraq pipeline bypass,m stabilizes, pricing will improve. Additional wildcards: 🇷🇺🇺🇦are Ukraine-Russia war 🇳🇬Civil war conflict in Nigeria. 🛩️🚛All above are sources of middle sour crude which yield refined diesel and jet fuel. Historical averages yield perspective in “constant dollars” 👇👀

Finally, a take that goes beyond “up means bullish, down means bearish.” You and @AUTIGER222 are two of the accounts that make finance X useful.

🇺🇸 Economic growth leads to lower inflation. Let the U. S. grow!

Wages are not keeping up with inflation. There’s that.
22
Jobs for Americans is a problem.
23
That’s all BS. Inflation has wiped out any wage gains and high interest rates have killed the housing market.
26
In other words AI is propping up the whole economy. Its the reason why Trump doesn't want regulation. Slow down investment and build out and stock market will crash.

Canada 10% debt to GDP. American debt to GDP 100%

Big increases of income for the wealthy

Not sure who is more embarrassing, you or Kudlow. Good grief.

Poverty can’t go down in just 18 months Presidency it’s a longer term efforts. President Trump should not celebrate it .

And the lies. I will never forgive the lies. I can't believe I fell for it. I'm as disgusted with me as I am with Trump and the Republicans.

This guy always forgets groceries and home services, electricity, cable etc

Free marketing for the diaper man’s disaster economy with manipulated data in jobs and unemployment, thanks to the dirty job of the current administration. You can’t hide the fact that Walmart and Target reported reduced consumer spending, which points to struggling economy.

Oil prices affect everything.

We have increasing CC defaults and 40,277 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings nationwide.

The Trump economy’s record-low poverty and income gains demonstrate his administration’s success in improving Americans’ financial well-being, though critics argue more systemic reforms are needed.

Thank God debt has nothing to do with the economy.

Posts like this make me want to send my lifelong conservative vote across the aisle twice. Can't wait for the midterm massacre.

Inflation is outpacing wages.
