President Trump details success indicators that did not go as critics predicted

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce that the tariffs generated great wealth and unprecedented national security. Trump also announced that the trade deficit was cut by 60% and he mentioned the recent 4.3% GDP growth and the lack of inflation. John Jordan, Republican strategist, said that the economic doomsayers have been proven wrong again.

From Newsmax:

Republican strategist John Jordan told Newsmax on Friday night that the economic doomsayers have all been proven wrong by Trump, yet again.

“We were told that the economy, the Trump economy, was going to collapse,” Jordan told “The Record With Greta Van Susteren.”

“These are the same clowns that back in April said we were going to have massive runaway inflation and a recession.”

Jordan argued that those predictions were driven more by political bias than objective analysis.

He compared today’s economic commentators to public health officials in the COVID era, accusing both groups of overstating risks while dismissing evidence that contradicted their narratives.

“Economists in many ways on Wall Street have become the public health officials of 2025: utterly discredited because of their political bias,” he said.

Presidential adviser Dick Morris echoed the debunking of Trump’s critics, including Democrats, who have struggled to move the goalposts as Trump keeps splitting the uprights.
