🧱 “It’s not the economy — it’s the messaging.”

It took Biden 3 years to damage the economy, but Americans expect Trump to fix it in under 12 months. And shockingly… he’s doing it. Despite pessimistic polling and lingering inflation pain, real data tells a different story.

📈 4.2% GDP growth in Q3, on top of 3.8% in Q2 — meaning more growth in Trump’s first six months than Biden’s last three YEARS.
💵 Real wages up almost 1% in just 8 months, after being 2% below at Biden’s exit.
📉 Inflation down to 3% (historically normal) — after soaring 5% per year under Biden.
🏛️ Federal deficits dropping.
🌎 Blue vs red state divide on unemployment & housing costs.

💬 The real issue isn’t performance — it’s messaging. Americans still feel the pain of prices that rose 20% under Biden. But the rebuild is underway.
