As of mid-2025, Donald J. Trump has made several significant decisions that have the potential to benefit the U.S. economy greatly. These include reducing the size of the government bureaucracy, deporting undocumented immigrants who were entering the country illegally, attempting to lower interest rates, implementing reciprocal tariffs globally, and bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. These decisions have not only led to an increase in good-paying jobs but also hold the potential for further job creation in the U.S. economy.

For the past 50 years or so, foreign countries have employed a form of asymmetrical tariffs (taxation) to restrict U.S. goods from entering their markets while selling the U.S. goods at a lower price. This has resulted in high trade balance deficits, a significant issue that has partly financed our national debt, currently around $36 to $38 trillion and climbing rapidly.

The United States holds a significant position in global trade, accounting for 26% of the world's GDP. If countries cannot enter the U.S. markets, their economies will falter, and they know it. Therefore, many countries are requesting negotiations for zero or very small reciprocal tariffs. Eventually, almost every country will fall in line and negotiate lower tariffs, ultimately reaching nearly zero. This will open up markets worldwide, creating significant opportunities for U.S. businesses to manufacture and export globally, a testament to the strength and potential of the U.S. economy.

Looking ahead, there is optimism for Trump's next strategic moves. He hopes to continue to make bold decisions, including addressing the governance structures in certain states. By encouraging a shift towards a private enterprise economy, where advancement is based on merit and regulations are streamlined, Trump could further bolster the nation's economic prospects. This instills a sense of reassurance and confidence in his leadership, assuring the audience of the stability and strength of the U.S. economy under his guidance.
