One Year In, America Is Winning Again

This week marks one year of Making America Great Again again. Twelve months of speed. Twelve months of discipline. Twelve months of results. Under Donald Trump, the United States did not drift. It surged.
In just one year, American sovereignty was reclaimed. Inflation was beaten back. The border was secured. Energy production roared. Taxes were cut. Ceasefires were brokered abroad. Economic growth snapped back at home. Promises made. Promises kept.
For families feeling crushed by the Biden years, relief arrived fast.
President Trump secured funding to provide newborns with a $1,000 investment account and inspired an additional $6.35 billion in private investment through Trump Accounts. That is not a slogan. That is long term wealth creation starting at birth.
Working Americans saw immediate tax relief. The Working Families Tax Cuts delivered a $6,000 deduction for individuals 65 and older, putting money back where it belongs, in the hands of seniors who earned it.
Wages are rising again. Nominal private sector weekly earnings are on track to climb 4 percent in President Trump’s first full year in office, comfortably beating inflation. Real wages are back. Private sector workers are on track to see a $1,100 gain, clawing back purchasing power after nearly $3,000 in annual losses under Biden.
The backbone of American industry is finally respected again. Goods producing workers are on track to see real annual earnings rise by $1,300. Mining and logging workers are pacing toward a $2,200 increase. Construction workers are on track for $1,400 more. Manufacturing workers are set to gain $1,300. That is paychecks, not press releases.
Inflation has been crushed. The rate is down 70 percent from its Biden era peak. Egg prices are down 31.3 percent since President Trump took office. Grocery aisles are calmer. Kitchen tables feel it.
Housing costs are easing. President Trump directed Congress to purchase $200 billion in mortgage bonds to reduce mortgage rates and monthly payments. Rent prices have fallen for the fifth consecutive month. Apartment rents are down 1.3 percent from last year and nearly 6 percent from their 2022 peak.
At the pump, relief is real. Gas prices are at their lowest since 2021, down nearly 30 cents from last year, thanks to unleashed American energy production and a president who believes in drilling here instead of begging overseas.
Health care costs are finally facing accountability. President Trump secured 16 agreements with major pharmaceutical manufacturers to align prices with those paid in other developed nations, delivering meaningful relief on medications used by millions of Americans.
Abroad, strength restored stability. Ceasefires were brokered in multiple global conflicts. America leads again. Enemies listen again. Allies trust again.
One year in, the contrast could not be clearer. Chaos replaced with competence. Inflation replaced with growth. Weakness replaced with strength.
America is not guessing anymore. America is winning again.
