Trump economic triumphs are proving the naysayers wrong

After seeing a new WSJ poll, I decided to work up some new right-column commentary for TheHustings, but still wanted to archive it on MDB too (below).
Yet even as my attitude is positive in mid-2025, I suspect our government will find a way to continue the bloat of government, borrow more from future generations and raise taxes; no doubt the deficits and debt cycle will continue until we crash. ☹️
Over the past six months, President Trump and his administration has delivered an economic resurgence that defies the gloomy predictions of economists, mainstream media and the so-called experts. With a robust economy and a thriving capital market, the administration’s policies are turning skeptics into believers.
Since taking office, Trump’s focus on deregulation, tax cuts, and America-first policies has fueled unprecedented growth. Unemployment is at historic lows, small businesses are booming and consumer confidence is soaring. The capital markets have responded with record-breaking rallies, shrugging off the doomsday forecasts that dominated headlines. This isn’t just data—it’s a testament to leadership that prioritizes the American people over political narratives.
The Wall Street Journal’s recent poll on economic sentiment tells the story loud and clear. In July 2025, a notable percentage of Americans — higher than any point since November 2021 — thinks that the economy is positive. Compared to previous polls during the Biden administration back in 2022, 2023 and 2024, the upward trend is undeniable. This marks a significant shift from the pessimism under Biden or Trump’s tariffs announcement, reflects a growing trust in the direction of the economy. The naysayers’ propaganda is losing its grip as public perception shifts when it comes to President Trump and his polices on the economy.
The stock market has been an even brighter spot, with the Dow and S&P 500 hitting new highs, driven by investor confidence in Trump’s pro-business agenda. This surge contradicts the mainstream media’s relentless negativity, which predicted economic collapse. Instead, we’re witnessing a market that thrives on stability and optimism proof that the American spirit, led by strong leadership, prevails. Who knows, there might even be a few extra dollars from the tariffs to start paying down our national debt and/or a rebate check for Americans who need it most?
Six months in, the Trump administration has laid a foundation for sustained prosperity. As the WSJ poll shows, more Americans are recognizing this reality every day. The era of fake news and economic doom-saying is fading, replaced by a renewed faith in a stronger, wealthier America.
