Most people know nothing about the economy, jobs, stocks, starting or running a business. They are just plain ignorant. Anything they predict about the economy is not only a guess, but a bad guess.
And then there’s the media.
The media knows even less about the economy than all the ignorant people who are guessing.
And you know who knows the least of all?
The financial media.
Ignorant people are often wrong. The media is usually wrong. But the financial media is ALWAYS wrong. Anyone could make a fortune just doing the exact opposite of anything you hear on CNBC.
The authors of this commentary don’t just talk about business. They live it. It’s all we know. It’s all we do. Author Wayne Allyn Root has started and run million-dollar businesses his whole life, and made countless stunning predictions on TV and radio that have come through with flying colors. Co-author Kip Herriage is a financial expert who raised hundreds of millions of dollars for Wall Street high- flyers, and has made some of the most accurate predictions in Wall Street history.
What we’re about to tell you is not what we think, or guess, or predict…
This is what we know in every fiber of our soul.
Strap on your seat belt. Here we go. The US economy is primed for a blockbuster surge, with GDP growth poised to shatter the 5% barrier within the next 6-9 months. Forget the gloom and doom coming from mainstream, naysaying, Trump-hating economists and so-called “experts” who are never right. They claim, “the US economy is entering a recession.” Nothing could be further from the truth. This is either a terrible guess based on ignorance, or wishful thinking.
The reality is, we are on the precipice of the greatest economic boom in world history. Call it “The Golden Age of Trump Prosperity.” This Trump Economic Miracle is reigniting the fire that fueled pre-pandemic prosperity, amplified by a new “Innovation Revolution,” financial engineering, and an ocean of liquidity with never-before-seen cash-rich balance sheets.
This Trump Economic Miracle is not hyperbole. It’s a proven formula of tax cuts, massive deregulation, trillions of dollars of global investment in America (Trump’s Art of the Deal), combined with “America-First” policies that are already turbocharging economic output.
Trump’s first term delivered average annual growth north of 2.5%, but that included a late 2018 market meltdown driven by…you guessed it…an out-of- control Federal Reserve (led by Jerome Powell) that hiked rates seven straight times causing the worst 4th quarter performance since the Great Depression. In addition, Trump had to deal with the “Plandemic”- which sent the economy and markets spiraling lower.
Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone has a plan…until they get punched in the face.”
Trump’s sequel is a barrage of power punches. Fresh executive orders slashing red tape, and the imposition of strategic tariffs are redirecting hundreds of billions of dollars into domestic manufacturing, shielding jobs while spurring massive investments.
Critics whine about “trade wars,” but the data tells a different story: Customs duties have raked in $176 billion in fiscal 2025 alone, funding infrastructure and deficit reduction. The Office of Management and Budget projects Trump’s tariffs will halve the deficit over the next decade, freeing up trillions in capital for growth.
Combined with extended tax reforms, businesses are ramping up hiring and expansion, echoing the 2017 boom that added millions of jobs. And these jobs are only for American-born workers. By mid-2026, this policy cocktail will push industrial output higher, lifting GDP well beyond the current 3%, Q3 estimates (the Atlanta Fed’s current estimate).
Finally, the Innovation Revolution…powered in part by AI…is completely rewriting the American productivity script. We’re not talking incremental tweaks- this is a seismic shift akin to the internet era, with CAPEX totaling more than $2.5 trillion over the next 3 years, a record times five. McKinsey forecasts AI could double R&D pace, unlocking up to $500 billion in annual value by accelerating breakthroughs in biotech, quantum computing, and automation.
The White House’s AI Action Plan is channeling this into national strategy, turning data into a “strategic asset” for economic dominance. Tech giants like Microsoft see AI as today’s “electricity,” revolutionizing everything from supply chains to consumer apps. With 92% of companies planning aggressive CAPEX spikes through 2028, this tech tsunami will boost efficiency, creating new industries and jobs. Expect a productivity spike that alone could add 2-3% to GDP, far outpacing skeptics’ models.
To the many fear mongers and mainstream strategists squawking about a weakening labor market with screams of “a recession is coming,” please refer back to this piece in the months to come. Yes, a transition process is underway in the labor market, as millions of do-nothing government employees are fired, and tens of millions of illegal aliens are forced out of the workforce.
But know this: Trump‘s “America First” tariff policies are in the process of restoring American manufacturing and American economic greatness. But yes, this process takes some time. It took Reagan two years to reverse the Jimmy Carter catastrophe.
Animal spirits are already roaring back, just look at the stock market. As the “premier discounting mechanism” on the planet, these all-time highs are telling us LOUDLY that America’s best economic days are directly ahead. We’ve entered a generational bull market that will soar into the 2030s.
There’s literally never been a better time to be an American, to be an investor, a business builder, and to be an optimist.
Trump-hating permabears, please keep betting against this American resurgence. Your short-selling will provide the fuel for the economic and stock market melt-up underway today. We thank you in advance for your shortsightedness.
In sum, these pillars: Trump’s low taxes; deregulation; pro-growth agenda; combined with a new “Innovation Revolution,” and US liquidity abundance, will converge to propel GDP growth past 5% by mid-2026 (then, higher still). The US isn’t just recovering; it’s roaring back to lead the world. Buckle up; this economic miracle is just getting started.
The Trump Train is leaving the station. Your only choices are to celebrate and participate; or be left behind.
