Trump Economy Quietly Winning

By Sam Stone

The whispers will soon become a roar. While the Leftstream media rages about tariffs and demands ever more onerous taxes on people who create jobs, Donald Trump and his team in the White House are quietly building the U.S. economy up for a massive breakout down the road.

For the first time in decades, federal spending decreased last quarter. The cost of our national debt dropped by $13.5 billion in the first three months of the year. Investment and savings rates are also going up. The Biden economy was driven entirely by government spending, which does show as an increase in GDP, but is fundamentally negative long term – every dollar spent is either extracted from taxpayers who could use it for more productive ends, or raised via debt, which is worse.

The question is whether the Trump economic breakout which is coming arrives in time for the 2026 midterms. If it does, Republicans are likely to hold on to the House, and possibly even add a few seats. That would set Trump up to complete the long-term overhaul of the U.S. economy that his Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, has been working towards. If the breakout happens after or very late in the 2026 election cycle, Trump may find himself stuck with a hostile leftist-led congress that will be sure to impeach him at least a few times and try to throw a wrench factory into his plans.

Unfortunately for Democrats, their policies sent that wrench factory to China a long time ago, so the bet here is on a big Trump win.
