Summary

  • Inflation Drop

    • Inflation fell unexpectedly to 2.7%, which the author claims validates Trump’s economic strategy.
  • Energy Policy Impact

    • Deregulation and expansion of domestic oil and gas production lowered energy costs, reducing transportation and manufacturing expenses across the economy.
  • Tariffs and Trade

    • Contrary to predictions of price hikes and supply chain chaos, tariffs pressured foreign producers to absorb costs, stabilized markets, and boosted U.S. manufacturing.
  • Deregulation

    • Cutting federal regulations reduced compliance costs and “hidden inflation,” enabling businesses to operate more efficiently and keep prices down.
  • Market Confidence

    • Trump’s leadership restored confidence, reducing volatility and inflationary expectations.
  • Fiscal Discipline

    • Signals of government spending restraint reassured markets and contributed to lower inflation expectations.
