Trump policies are working
...
Economist Steve Moore shared his excitement over the latest U.S. real gross domestic product (GDP) figures during an appearance on “The Charlie Kirk Show.” The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported that GDP grew at an annual rate of 3.0% in the second quarter of 2025, driven by a decline in imports and a rise in consumer spending. Moore attributed this growth to the economic policies of President Donald Trump.
“Oh my gosh, what a day. I cannot believe these numbers that came out today, Charlie. Trump is just hitting it out of the park,” Moore told host Charlie Kirk. “And do you remember five months ago when all the leftists said, ‘Oh, Trump is going to cause a second Great Depression. He’s going to destroy the economy and the stock market’s gonna crash.’”
“We got the news today of 3% economic growth for the second quarter,” he continued. “That’s higher than any quarter, I believe, in the four years that [Joe] Biden was president. This economy is cooking right now.”
According to Trading Economics, GDP growth exceeded 3% several times during the Biden administration. The recent 3% increase in Q2 2025 represents a recovery from a 0.5% decline in the first quarter, as reported by the BEA. Despite predictions that Trump’s tariff policies would spike inflation, various economic indicators, including a robust stock market hitting all-time highs, suggest otherwise.
The Federal Reserve Board noted a 0.1% rise in manufacturing output in June, following a revised 0.3% increase in May. Additionally, Reuters reported a 4,000-drop in U.S. jobless claims for the week ending July 19, marking six consecutive weeks of declines and a three-month low. Retail sales also exceeded expectations, growing by 0.6% in June, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s advance estimates released on July 17.
Trump’s second term has seen the announcement of major trade agreements with the European Union, Japan, and the Philippines. On a Monday episode of his “Club Random” podcast, comedian Bill Maher acknowledged his incorrect prediction that Trump’s tariffs would devastate the economy by July.
“[T]he stock market is at record highs. I know not everybody lives by the stock market, but I also drive around. I don’t see a country in a depression at all,” he said. “I see people out there just living their lives. And I would have thought — and I gotta own it — that these tariffs were going to fucking sink this economy by this time — and they didn’t.”

The leftist have lost credibility when it comes to Trump policies. They would be better served if they stuck with the real issues insead of making bogus attacks on Trump. It is what happens when you hate the man more than you love the truth.
