Amidst a chorus of skepticism from various commentators, the Trump administration's economic policies continue to yield impressive results.
The latest data reveals that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) surged at an annual rate of 4.3 percent from July through September. This figure, as highlighted in a report by The New York Times titled U.S. Economic Growth Surged in Third Quarter of 2025, surpasses the 3.6 percent growth rate recorded in the second quarter of the year.
According to The Western Journal, the Commerce Department's announcement underscores the resilience of the economy, driven largely by consumer spending, which accounts for approximately 70 percent of economic activity. This spending increased at a rate of 3.5 percent over the third quarter.
Even The New York Times, often critical of conservative policies, acknowledged the economy's robust performance, stating, even in the face of negative consumer sentiment and a softening job market, the roughly $30 trillion economy started October on relatively solid footing as a whole, outperforming the bearish expectations of some experts only months before.
Bret Kenwell, an analyst at eToro, echoed this sentiment, pointing out the disparity between forecasts and actual economic performance. While worries surrounding the jobs market, tariffs and inflation continue to swirl, the economy continues to defy its doubters by chugging higher, he remarked, as reported by CBS. Bloomberg also noted that this growth represents the most significant increase in two years.
President Trump, never one to shy away from touting his administration's successes, took to Truth Social to celebrate the news. The TARIFFS are responsible for the GREAT USA Economic Numbers JUST ANNOUNCEDAND THEY WILL ONLY GET BETTER! he declared. He further emphasized, Also, NO INFLATION & GREAT NATIONAL SECURITY. Pray for the U.S. Supreme Court!!! President DJT.
In a recent opinion piece for Fox Business, economist Larry Kudlow expressed optimism about the future potential of the Trump economic agenda. He argued that the administration's policies, including supply-side tax cuts, deregulation, and a focus on energy independence, could propel GDP growth to 5 percent. Now, I think the Trump economic program of supply-side tax cuts, deregulation, drill, baby, drill, and free and fair reciprocal trade, is capable of producing 5% GDP growth. Thats right, 5%, Kudlow wrote.
He suggested that significant business investment, particularly in artificial intelligence, combined with falling oil prices, could lead to a period of zero inflation, further boosting growth prospects.
Kudlow concluded by asserting that President Trump's vision for a revitalized capitalist economy is underestimated by many, both allies and adversaries. Trumps shock and awe reimagination and rejuvenation of a new capitalist path to prosperity is right now completely underestimated by everybody. Friend and foe, he stated.
As the Trump administration continues to implement its economic strategies, the nation watches closely to see if these policies will indeed deliver the promised prosperity and growth.
