Inflation Controlled, Growth Strong
Six Months In Trump, Half a year into President Trump’s administration, the U.S. economy is proving resilient and productive—despite dire forecasts from critics and economists. As of June, core CPI inflation has come in under expectations for five straight months. Inflation now rises at just 2.1% annually, aligning with the Federal Reserve’s ideal target.
This stability proves that Trump’s economic direction—focused on domestic production, deregulation, and targeted tariffs—is working.
Manufacturing Bounces Back
One of the most surprising outcomes is in manufacturing. Production rose 0.3% in June, while the market had forecast flat growth. For the six-month stretch from January to June, total manufacturing output rose 1.8%.
This marks a strong rebound from the final five months of the Biden administration, which saw a 0.7% decline in the same sector. Trump’s America-first approach is clearly paying dividends in production.
Retail Sales Surge as Consumers Regain Confidence
June also saw a stunning rise in consumer spending. Advance retail sales surged 0.6%—six times more than economists expected. This is a strong signal of consumer confidence and marks a continued return to post-pandemic normalcy.
With inflation easing, wages stable, and the promise of new tax relief from Trump’s legislative efforts, American households are spending more freely.
Labor Market Sees Major Shift
June’s jobs report tells a deeper story. Hiring of native-born Americans surged by 830,000, while employment of foreign-born workers fell by 348,000. This trend has now lasted three months, revealing a clear realignment in labor.
The labor force participation rate for native-born workers jumped from 61.4% to 61.8%. As the talent pool shifts, employers are adjusting to the new hiring landscape and boosting American workers’ roles in the economy.
Trump’s Tariffs Bring Billions, Not Chaos
Despite mainstream fears, Trump’s tariff strategy is working. Since taking office, his administration has collected over $120 billion in customs and trade duties. These tariffs are realigning supply chains and incentivizing domestic manufacturing.
Critics predicted trade wars and recession, but the opposite has occurred. Revenue is flowing, production is rising, and the stock market continues to climb.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Yet to Hit Full Effect
All this momentum occurred before the One Big Beautiful Bill came into effect. Signed on July 4, the bill includes broad tax cuts, deductions for tipped and overtime workers, and investment-friendly reforms. It’s also packed with provisions to boost security and infrastructure—elements that will further drive growth.
As these policies are implemented, expect even stronger results in the coming quarters.
White House: Economic Pessimists Proven Wrong
Kush Desai, deputy press secretary, told Breitbart News, “The same people who predicted recession are now watching as inflation falls, jobs rise, and investment soars.”
Desai added, “Under President Trump, Americans are seeing the end of Biden’s inflation crisis, real investment in our workforce, and the beginning of a golden era of American prosperity.”
With six months of results already proving critics wrong, the Trump economy is not just surviving—it’s thriving. And with key reforms just beginning to roll out, this could be the start of an even more powerful boom.
