🚨 NOW: Trump Economic Director Kevin Hassett says US GDP is expected to be +5% PERCENT in Q3, as a recent jobs report TRIPLED expectations

"FAR-LEFT MEDIA, instead of talking about the facts — large income growth, $3,000 decline in real income under Biden — they talk about these polls, and I'm not convinced at all!"

"Look at the Michigan survey. Democrats say we have the worst economy since the Great Depression because they hate President Trump!"

5% percent GDP growth would be GREAT news before the midterms

Trump recently dropped the receipts that his inflation stats are actually STOPPING the Biden-era rise, and Democrats act like we're in a "Great Depression"

Jobs were +162K in August. More investments coming in. The Fed should see the writing on the wall and SLASH RATES to unleash!

You check your 401k today?

People vote with their wallets!
A bump in the market after weeks of stagnant or negative growth while we still have a war spreading regionally in the Middle East is no reason to get overly excited about the economy. The market still needs to go up another 7% just to get back to where I was at the beginning of June. And just think about where it would have been without his war of choice and his tariff policy.

😲 Rehmet has already done it once, but I'll have to see it to believe it for the others, but if true, damn. Also needs to be noted that this is just one district, though a traditionally dark red one.

This will get struck down AGAIN. The law is that new voting maps must be voted on in missouri by its citizens. Trump and his hooligans jamming it through is a disservice and illegal. But congrats on not following the rules and probably getting this kicked out by the supreme court AGAIN.

Still a ways to go, but at least we are moving in the right direction. Down 15% over the last 3 trading sessions. Iran asking to get to the negotiating table. Trending in the right direction. Would be nice to keep the momentum into the end of October.

The market is trading lower than at any point in the last 2 years on a fwd earnings basis. It has a lot of room to run and make people happy. If oil prices can return to the low to mid 70's i think the market could be set up for a very nice run into the end of the year.

Remember Bessent holding back on his treasury purchases last week amid the sell off? Will be interesting now that he has more firepower going into mid-terms. Will he deploy his ammo late next month?

I expect volatility and oil is still the key indicator in my opinion.

Libs are scared s h I t less.



BREAKING: Democrats are absolutely panicked about what’s coming in 2026 because Trump’s affordability agenda is about to hit the economy like a freight train. No tax on tips means twenty five thousand dollars back into the pockets of working Americans. No tax on overtime means another twelve thousand five hundred saved. Social Security deduction relief. No tax on interest for American made car loans. Slashing the Green New Scam rules which cuts the price of cars by one to two thousand. Child tax credit boosted to two thousand two hundred and protected from inflation.

This is massive. Trump is the affordability president and the Democrats know they can’t compete with that reality.

No tax on tips means twenty five thousand dollars back into the pockets of working Americans? Where's that math?
No tax on overtime means another twelve thousand five hundred saved? Where's that math?

I think you're talking about the amount they can deduct from income and most of these people are only in the 12% marginal tax bracket anyway. Some might be in the 22% bracket. At most these people are likely to save between $2k and $4k.

Also this is old news and democrats aren't going to reverse those things anyway. Their rhetoric will focus on billionaires even though in practice they will go after people earning > $400k.

Seriously, who the **** reports tips? I didn't when I was working as a waiter.
Most people pay with credit cards.

Most restaurants require waitresses & bus boys to turn in cash tips so they can distribute among the staff. Of course some employees won't obey and they'll quietly slip it into their pockets.

IF the midterms happen, it will be the biggest blue tsunami in modern history. IF they happen. I'm highly skeptical Trump doesn't suspend elections after a false flag some time next year.
You're like the fools who claimed no tax on tips would benefit billionaires because that's how they would take their pay.

Just the facts.



Nobody could’ve done what President Trump has accomplished in his first two years…

-Venezuela deal.

-Trump Rx.

-No tax on tips.

-No tax on overtime.

-Crime at historic lows.

-Trump accounts for kids.

-Greenland deal.

-Historic fraud EXPOSED.

-Secured Border.

-Reduced Taxes.

The man is getting it done! 🇺🇸

Just so you understand the national average of about $4.48 a gallon is equivalent to roughly $2.94 in July 2008 dollars. It's not as big of a deal as people want you to believe. Sure, it sucks, but its not causing foreclosures like it did in the great recession. People are still using doordash. There has been little to no demand destruction of gasoline usage in the USA.

Vehicle miles travels continue to rise.

If the price of gasoline was really the problem the doomers want you to believe it is, you would be seeing demand destruction and people staying home. You would be seeing companies like door dash go out of business or inflation skyrocket.

It's not happening.

"The previous record was Trump going into 2018 ... just 18% strongly approve of the job Trump is doing."
