America Is Winning Again as President Trump Ushers in a New Golden Age

The numbers do not lie. The momentum is unmistakable. One year into his return to the White House, President Donald Trump is delivering exactly what he promised. Jobs. Growth. American workers first.

Since taking office, President Trump has created 654,000 private sector jobs, and not one of those gains has gone to illegal aliens. One hundred percent of net job growth has gone to American born workers. For working families who were pushed aside for years, that is not a talking point. That is a long overdue correction.

While Democrats wring their hands and obsess over ideology, Trump has been busy tearing down trade barriers that hollowed out American industry for decades. His administration secured major trade deals covering 40 percent of all U.S. trade, forcing open foreign markets that were closed to American exporters. The result is real access for U.S. farmers, manufacturers, and innovators.

Eight countries agreed to protect market access for U.S. meat and cheese producers. Nine countries accepted U.S. FDA approvals for new treatments and medicines. Twelve countries signed on to U.S. automotive safety and emissions standards. Another twelve committed to addressing barriers that have strangled digital trade. These are not symbolic wins. These are structural changes that put American producers back in the game.

The trade payoff is already visible. The U.S. trade deficit has fallen 39 percent to $29.4 billion, the lowest level since 2009. That is what happens when America stops apologizing and starts negotiating.

Small businesses are booming under Trump’s leadership. The Small Business Administration approved $100 billion in capital, guaranteed $45 billion in lending, and supported roughly 85,000 small businesses nationwide. These are not Wall Street bailouts. These are Main Street lifelines.

When disaster struck, the SBA delivered more than $6 billion in disaster assistance through over 51,000 loans to homeowners and small businesses in FY25. Help arrived quickly. Bureaucratic excuses did not.

The administration also launched an Onshoring Portal connecting small businesses with over one million domestic suppliers, strengthening supply chains and bringing production back home. Through the MARC loan program, U.S. manufacturers received early financing. Through the Manufacturing in America Grant program, small manufacturers will receive up to $1.1 million in workforce training support beginning in FY26.

The labor market tells the same story. The U.S. Department of Labor registered 2,644 new apprenticeship programs and added 317,050 new apprentices. Back wages totaling $259 million were recovered for nearly 177,000 workers, the most since 2019. Compliance costs for businesses were cut by at least $1 billion annually. Workers were protected. Employers were freed to grow.

Innovation has surged as well. Sixteen thousand students and educators signed up for the Presidential AI Challenge. The Energy Department announced $625 million for National Quantum Information Science Research Centers. The administration invested over $400 million in AI infrastructure, ensuring America leads the next technological frontier rather than chasing it.

Education reform is also back on the table. Charter schools received $500 million, the largest investment ever. Literacy programs received $256 million in new grants nationwide. Parents and students are once again being prioritized over bureaucracies.

Perhaps most striking is the administration’s legal success. Over the past year, it secured 24 victories at the United States Supreme Court. These rulings upheld immigration enforcement, limited nationwide injunction abuse, ended federal DEI funding mandates, reduced unnecessary government staffing, and allowed the president to place leaders who support his agenda.

This is what governing looks like. Jobs created. Borders enforced. Businesses growing. Innovation accelerating. Courts restoring constitutional order.

The so called experts said it could not be done. President Trump did it anyway. America is not just back. America is winning again.
