Trump beats the "experts".....again.
The US economy is firing on all cylinders compared to Australia’s, even as Donald Trump’s approval rating sinks to new lows.
The American economy grew at an annual rate of 4.4 per cent in the third quarter of 2025, according to the US Bureau of Economic Analysis.
That robust expansion in GDP growth — more than double Australia’s growth rate of 2.1 per cent — marked the fastest pace in two years, driven by strong consumer spending and a significant rebound in exports.
There was more good economic news last week when the US Labour Department revealed that annual inflation was down to 2.4 per cent.
“Year one of Trump has been incredible … 4.4 per cent GDP at end of year, 2.4 per cent inflation, record high stock market … It’s honestly extraordinary,” American writer Clay Travis tweeted.
