GDP shatters record with 33.1% growth

Mostly hidden by Legacy Media in the mist of pandemic promotion, the U.S. Gross Domestic Product rose to 33.1% last quarter, the fastest rise in history.

A statement released by the White House notes, "This jump in GDP is nearly double the previous record set 70 years ago."

The White House statement Thursday quoted the Council of Economic Advisers who wrote:
 

Since April, America has gained over 11.4 million jobs, recovering more than half of those lost because of lockdowns. Retail sales are already above pre-pandemic levels, many construction and manufacturing jobs have returned, business activity is at a 20-month high, and new jobless claims fell to their lowest level this week since the beginning of the pandemic.

This “V-shaped” recovery is beating economist predictions and outpacing the slow recovery under former President Obama. After the 2008-09 recession, it took the Obama Administration 4 times as long to regain the same share of lost economic output.

🎬WATCH: The media has an obligation to share this news.

Two big reasons explain President Trump’s success. The first is that his pro-growth, pro-worker agenda made our economic fundamentals stronger. Before Coronavirus swept the globe, American incomes hit a record high in 2019 while poverty rates hit a record low. Median incomes saw their biggest one-year jump ever.

Second, President Trump took targeted action to help American workers and families after the Coronavirus hit. His Administration negotiated the CARES Act, implemented the Paycheck Protection Program to save jobs, extended supplemental unemployment benefits, paused student loan payments, and halted evictions.

Today, the left wants to emulate Europe, issue endless lockdowns, and use the pandemic as an excuse to grow government control of the economy and society. President Trump wants to keep working with the private sector, protect the most vulnerable among us, and safely reopen our economy and schools.

Today’s GDP report makes it clear: The data supports President Trump’s strategy.

The Great American Comeback is well underway—a testament to both President Trump’s policies and the strength and resilience of America’s workers and families.
