Hows your “man of Christ felon president now?
Karma is coming for this anti Christ.
He’s GRRRRREAT

Surprisingly strong consumer spending has the market high. As the Wall Street Journal reported, “The U.S. economy expanded at a 4.3% annual rate in the third quarter of 2025, its fastest pace in two years, driven largely by strong consumer spending, rising exports, and increased government outlays.”
Strong consumer spending significantly contributes to U.S. economic growth. It’s a very good sign.
Merry Christmas America from President Donald Trump.
The inflation-adjusted annual rate of 4.3% marked an uptick from 3.8% growth the previous quarter and beat analyst expectations of 3.2% growth, according to economists polled by The Wall Street Journal.
Additionally, according to Economist Peter St Onge, Ph.D., “Corrupt media and economic ‘experts’ tried everything they could to push us into recession. And here we are at 4.3% growth — one of the best in a decade — and recession odds the lowest since Biden.”
The odds of a recession next year reached an all-time low of 25% according to Kalshi
“This is a very, very impressive GDP report … 8% essentially nominal GDP growth, consumer spending really beat expectations,” said BofA Securities Economist Aditya Bhave on today’s GDP Report. “This is pretty unusual … Productivity growth is off the charts.”
“Productivity is off the charts.” That’s good news.
St. Onge also reports “Young Americans got an early Christmas present with rental prices falling the most in 15 years. Apparently deporting 2 million illegals lowers the rent.”
“Keep it up and maybe we don’t have a housing crisis at all.”
St. Onge also says landlords are making deals with renters – throwing in three months rent, and loosening income standards, allowing part time workers to qualify for rentals.
Blue-collar workers and young Americans are seeing economic progress for the first time in years – rent prices finally falling, with economists saying thanks to the Trump administration deporting so many illegals causing rental vacancies.
These are some of the headlines today – compare these to one year ago:
Consumers power strongest US economic growth in two years – WSJ
US economy grows at fastest pace in two years – BBC
Economy expanded at a surprisingly strong 4.3% last quarter LA Times
The U.S. economy grew robustly as Americans continued to spend NPR
As for the recent job loss report, St. Onge says that’s bunkum:
The BLS says we lost 41,000 jobs in 2 months. But control for Federal layoffs and we gained 121,000. Control for deportations and we gained 300,000. The “Weak” job numbers are entirely made of Federal layoffs and millions of illegals going home.
The ‘Weak’ job numbers are entirely made of Federal layoffs and millions of illegals going home” is the money quote.
Just as with California’s ridiculous jobs report showing the most growth in government, nearly all of the employment gains during the Biden Administration were public jobs.
Good news all around.
As someone commented, “Deportations and layoffs: Economy’s on a juice cleanse.”
As the Trump administration notes on economic improvements:
Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, thereby delivering the largest tax cut in American history, increasing Americans’ take-home pay by as much as $13,300, and terminating benefits for at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants who were gaming the system.
Congress passed President Trump’s historic rescissions package, which will save taxpayers $9 billion in wasteful, politically-motivated funding for leftwing foreign aid scams and biased NPR and PBS.
President Trump also issued a $5 billion pocket rescission using his authority under the Impoundment Control Act, cancelling government funding for woke, weaponized, and wasteful spending.
The wholesale price of a dozen eggs is down 67%, or $4.39, since the inauguration and is down 74%, or $6.01, from its March peak.
CEA: President Trump has created nearly 500,000 jobs since taking office, with all net job growth coming from the private sector and going to native-born Americans.
Since President Trump took office, inflation is tracking at 1.9% — low and stable.
Summer gas prices reached their lowest point since 2021, and, inflation-adjusted, are near a 20-year low. Labor Day gas prices also were the cheapest since 2020.
President Trump’s deregulatory efforts have already saved Americans over $180 billion, or $2,100 per family of four, with the rollback of automobile-related rules alone expected to save consumers more than $1.1 trillion. Over the next fiscal year, President Trump’s deregulatory efforts will save American businesses as much as $5 trillion.
Seven months in to President Trump’s second term, real wages for blue collar workers are up 1.4% over last year — the second-fastest increase for the start of a new term on record.
Companies and foreign governments have pledged over $8.7 trillion in investments into the U.S.
The Trump Administration will create tax-deferred investment accounts for ALL newborn American children. This will help set the next generation of Americans on a course for financial prosperity.
In August, tariff revenues topped $31 billion — bringing the total to $158 billion this calendar year, or more than 2.5 times the revenue this time last year.
The S&P500 and Nasdaq market indices have reached multiple record highs.
The Congressional Budget Office – often partisan and left-wing – was forced to admit tariffs will reduce the deficit by $4 trillion.
Mortgage rates fell to a 10-month low in August.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the Trump administration can proceed with the cancellation of $16 billion of Biden-era climate grants.
Winning. Merry Christmas America, and a Happy New Year to come.
