They said it couldn't be done. Wall Street analysts, Bloomberg economists, and the talking heads at CNBC were unanimous in their prediction: President Trump's economy was about to flatline with zero job growth. Then reality hit them like a freight train.
The January jobs report just dropped, and every single one of these so-called experts was catastrophically wrong. Private sector employment exploded by 172,000 jobs – nearly doubling expectations. But that's not even the best part, Patriots.
The Swamp Is Actually Draining
Government employment just plummeted to its lowest level since 1966. Let that sink in. Not since LBJ was in the White House has the federal bureaucracy been this lean. Kevin Hassett, one of the most respected economic minds in the Trump administration, laid it out plainly: the federal workforce share of total employment hasn't been this low in recorded history.
Three hundred sixty thousand federal positions – gone. Eliminated. This isn't a talking point or campaign rhetoric. This is a structural transformation of the American economy, shifting away from bureaucratic bloat and toward productive private sector growth.
"Private sector growing while public sector shrinks," confirmed Stephen Moore. "The exact opposite of what happened under Biden."
And he's absolutely right. Under the Biden regime, the biggest employment "gains" came from federal hiring that did nothing but balloon the deficit and put more unelected bureaucrats between you and your freedoms.
The Biden Jobs Lie Finally Exposed
Here's something the legacy media desperately doesn't want you to know: the Labor Department quietly revised Biden-era job numbers downward. Way downward. The economy produced only 1.2 million jobs in 2024 – not the two million they claimed.
That's 800,000 jobs that were fabricated on paper while American families struggled in reality. For years, they told us Bidenomics was working. They lied. The numbers prove it.
America First Economics Delivers
Meanwhile, under President Trump's leadership, construction jobs are surging thanks to eighteen trillion dollars in investment deals he personally negotiated. Apprenticeship registrations have topped 330,000 under this Labor Department. The unemployment rate fell to 4.3 percent. Labor force participation surged to its highest point since 2001.
Americans who gave up looking for work under Biden – the forgotten men and women who stopped showing up in the statistics because they lost all hope – are flooding back into the labor force. Why? Because they see real wages growing and real opportunities returning.
This is what happens when you have a President who actually puts American workers first instead of shipping their jobs overseas and importing cheap foreign labor.
The Numbers Don't Lie
Elon Musk's DOGE initiative is delivering exactly what was promised: a leaner, meaner federal government that gets out of the way of American prosperity. The administrative state is shrinking. The productive economy is growing. And the mainstream media machine is working overtime to bury this story.
Ask yourself: why won't CNN report these numbers straight? Why is MSNBC suddenly silent about jobs data? Because this narrative destroys everything they've been telling you about Trump's economic policies.
The swamp is draining, folks. The bureaucracy is shrinking. And there's not a single thing the Deep State or their media allies can do to stop it.
This is America First economics in action – and it's only the beginning.
