Despite Skeptics, President Trump’s Economic Engine Is Roaring Toward a New American Golden Age
By Richard Luthmann with Michael Volpe
TRUMP ECONOMY RISES: THE WALL STREET MELTDOWN THAT NEVER CAME
The doomsayers were wrong. Again.
Just 100 days into President Donald J. Trump’s second term, the economy is surging—even as liberal pundits and financial elites screamed “recession.”
Bill Maher and Michael Volpe recently claimed the economy was “shrinking” and cited gloomy predictions from Wall Street giants. However, those in the know weren’t having it.
On Maher’s show, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy dropped what he called “two brutal truth bombs.” First, the stock market was on a historic nine-day winning streak.
“That’s only happened 31 times in 97 years,” he said.
Second, jobs were up, particularly in the private sector, while bloated government payrolls shrank.
“He’s doing a disruption,” McCarthy said of President Trump’s strategy. “If they get a couple of trade deals in the next 60 days, this market will explode.”
Critics like Maher argued Trump’s tariffs would crash the market. Instead, American industry is reawakening, and consumer prices are easing as domestic production ramps up.
This isn’t a bubble. It’s a course correction—and Trump is at the helm.
TRUMP ECONOMY RISES: FIVE WAYS TRUMP IS TURBOCHARGING THE ECONOMY
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt put it plainly: “President Trump is delivering. Period.”
Here’s how Trump is jumpstarting the economy:
-
Tariffs That Work – Trump’s tariff program is forcing foreign competitors to play fair. Prices of Chinese imports are stabilizing, and American steel is back in demand.
-
Energy Independence 2.0 – The Keystone XL pipeline is operational again. Gas prices are down 30% since January. U.S. oil production is up 18%.
-
Tax Simplification – A new wave of regulatory reform is slashing red tape and simplifying the tax code for small businesses.
-
Manufacturing Boom – President Trump’s “Made in America” initiative is reversing offshoring. Over 100,000 new factory jobs were created in February and March.
-
Main Street Revival – “This is a transfer of wealth from Wall Street to Main Street,” said podcast co-host Richard Luthmann on The Unknown Podcast. “The wealth is coming back to the American people.”
“We’re seeing the Rust Belt become the Manufacturing Belt again,” Luthmann said. “The cancer was removed. Now the patient is healing.”
VOLPE vs. LUTHMANN: THE GREAT DEBATE
In a fiery exchange on The Unknown Podcast, co-host Michael Volpe remained skeptical.
“The economy contracted by 0.3% in Q1,” Volpe pointed out. “That’s a recession if it continues.”
Luthmann fired back: “That contraction includes the tail end of Biden’s disastrous final months. This is a post-surgical recovery.”
Volpe compared Trump unfavorably to Reagan and Clinton, who posted 3.4% and 3.8% GDP growth, respectively. Luthmann shot down the comparison.
“Reagan had the microchip revolution. Clinton had the internet boom. Trump’s economic surge is policy-driven. It’s about AI, domestic manufacturing, and ending the foreign giveaway economy.”
And unlike Reagan or Clinton, President Trump’s America First policy ensures those dividends reach the working class—not just hedge fund managers.
TRUMP ECONOMY RISES: LEADERSHIP, CONFIDENCE, AND A NEW ERA
“This economy is real,” Leavitt told reporters. “It’s tangible. Americans are seeing it in their paychecks, in their gas tanks, and in their grocery carts.”
Critics like Maher and Volpe say it’s too early to celebrate. Trump supporters say the celebration has already begun.
“Under President Trump, inflation is easing, interest rates are stable, and jobs are returning,” said Luthmann. “We’re watching the New American Golden Age unfold.”
Even skeptics are being forced to recalibrate. As McCarthy noted, “AOC and Bernie Sanders may be the Democratic frontrunners, but their message can’t compete with Trump’s results.”
From the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt, Americans are waking up to a revitalized economy.
“This is beautiful,” Luthmann said. “This is what America voted for.”
And so far, President Trump is delivering—again.
