In a recent social media post, President Donald Trump claimed that the US economy is currently on an upward trajectory, despite the latest inflation reports suggesting otherwise. The businessman-turned-politician highlighted the manufacturing and household reforms that he has implemented, stating that the policies have resulted in an economic boost that hasn’t occurred in “decades.”
Donald Trump comments on US economy
On January 13, the POTUS took to social media to laud the financial situation of the country at present, also crediting himself for the supposed upturn.
“Under my stewardship, the Economy is booming! A Manufacturing Renaissance and soaring Household Incomes are powering GDP gains that have not been seen in decades, and we are undergoing a DIS-inflationary boom. The Private Sector is growing by over 5% thanks to the most Business Investment we have ever seen, maybe in History, and Inflation trends are looking GOOD. All the smart money knows the “HOTTEST” Economy in the World is the U.S.A. TIME TO INVEST!” Donald Trump said of the US economy on Truth Social.
The aforementioned social media update comes after the President shared a similar sentiment in front of the Detroit Economic Club members on Tuesday, as per NBC News. At the event, held in a casino ballroom, the 79-year-old Republican Party member also noted that “the Trump economic boom has officially begun.” He further added, “In the coming weeks, I will be laying out even more plans to help bring back affordability,” after terming the issue a “fake word” coined by Democrats to scare voters against him.
In sharp contrast to Donald Trump’s claims about the “booming” US economy, the final inflation report of 2025 revealed that prices had risen by 2.7% in December from a year ago. The report signified that cost pressures for consumers have not eased up, especially when it comes to everyday products.
