TRUMP ECONOMY SOARING: Democrats Can't Hide From Their Own 'It's the Economy, Stupid' Mantra

Remember when Democrats loved to quote James Carville's legendary line "It's the economy, stupid"? Well, Patriots, they're not saying that anymore – and we all know why.

Just three weeks into President Trump's second term, the economic indicators are already telling a story that has the radical left scrambling for new talking points. The Trump-Vance administration's swift action on deregulation, energy independence, and America First trade policies is sending shockwaves through Wall Street – the good kind.

While the mainstream media desperately tries to credit Biden's disastrous policies for any positive trends, real Americans know better. We lived through four years of "Bidenomics" – inflation crushing families, energy prices through the roof, and small businesses strangled by bureaucratic red tape.

The Numbers Don't Lie

Market confidence has surged since Inauguration Day, with investors betting big on Trump's promises to slash regulations and unleash American energy production. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent aren't wasting time – they're implementing the economic vision that got Trump elected in the first place.

"The American people voted for economic freedom, not government control of their wallets," a senior administration official told reporters last week. "President Trump is delivering exactly what he promised."

But here's what really has Democrats panicking: their own voters are feeling the difference. Soccer moms in suburban Pennsylvania aren't interested in pronouns and climate hysteria when they can finally afford groceries again. Working-class families in Michigan care more about good-paying jobs than virtue signaling.

The radical left built their entire political strategy around economic populism, but Trump actually delivers it. While Democrats talk about helping working Americans, Trump's policies actually put money back in their pockets.

So where are all those "It's the economy, stupid" Democrats now? Probably hiding in their wine caves, hoping Americans forget who really destroyed their financial security – and who's bringing it back.

WINNING! This is what happens when you put American workers and businesses first instead of globalist policies.

The contrast is so obvious even mainstream media can't spin it anymore. Deregulation and America First policies actually work - who would have thought?

Remember when they said his policies would crash the economy? Where are all those 'experts' now?

Probably working on their next doom and gloom prediction that won't come true either!
