Donald Trumps Christmas message

Merry Christmas to all, including the radical left scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our country, but are failing badly," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "We no longer have open borders, men in women’s sports, transgender for everyone, or weak law enforcement. What we do have is a record stock market and 401K’s, lowest crime numbers in decades, no inflation, and yesterday, a 4.3 GDP, two points better than expected."

"Tariffs have given us trillions of dollars in growth and prosperity, and the strongest national security we have ever had. We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America!!!,"

and that includes tariffs that predated Trump. So I don't see how we have "trillions of dollars in growth and prosperity", especially considering Trump gave $40B to Argentina and $20B to farmers because of the pain caused by his reckless tariffs.

GDP numbers aren't out yet for FY25, which ended Sep 30. But estimates are that there was about $500Bn (not "trillions" ) in real growth (after inflation). But most of that was the result of economic momentum from the Biden administration.
