Todd Talk: Trump’s Second Term: Is 5% Growth Possible?
A 60-second conservative commentary with humor and heart.
My friends, just one year into President Trump’s second term, and the economy feels very different.
While most economists project 2 to 3 percent GDP growth this year, some are forecasting 5 to even 8 percent. And President Trump, not to be outdone, predicted 15 percent.
For perspective, GDP during the Biden years averaged about 2.2 percent annually.
Here’s the simple truth: when big government gets its way, regulation grows, uncertainty rises, and businesses pull back. They don’t focus on thriving. They focus on surviving.
When red tape eases, optimism follows. Investment follows. Growth follows.
I’m not predicting numbers. I’ll leave that to the so-called experts. But it’s been a long time since conditions felt this aligned for serious growth.
At some point, we have to admit: policy matters.
