Most Americans have yet to see this boom – but they’ve certainly heard a lot about it from the president

Moments into his second term, opening his inaugural address, Donald Trump was unequivocal. “The golden age of America begins right now,” he declared.

At a White House reception last weekend, a little over 10 months later, the US president appeared to acknowledge just how far his timeline had shifted.

“We’re going to have … I say it’s the golden age of America,” Trump told his audience. “We have an age that’s coming up, the likes of which … this country has never seen. And I just look so forward to the results. You’re going to see results in six months to a year.”

The US economy has come under pressure in 2025. A golden age did not promptly take hold, as Trump initially claimed, upon his return to office in January.

On two areas the president pledged to rapidly improve – jobs and prices – the results have so far been lackluster.

Trump’s brainwashed supporters seem unable to understand that he’s not the second coming of Christ (read your Revelation; we actually have a problem there) but rather the reincarnation of P.T. Barnum.
