Since returning to office, President Donald J. Trump has moved swiftly to restore affordability and rebuild the American Dream for hardworking Americans. Through bold America First policies — unleashing American energy dominance, cutting crippling red tape, securing massive tax relief, and putting American workers first — President Trump is swiftly undoing the Biden-era catastrophe of soaring prices, stagnant wages, and lost opportunities.
Everyday costs are finally falling, wages are rising faster than inflation, and private sector jobs are surging while government bureaucracy shrinks. Relief is hitting wallets now — and even bigger gains are coming as President Trump’s pro-growth agenda fully unleashes a new golden age of American prosperity.
Everyday Prices Are Easing — With More Relief Coming
- Gas prices are dropping sharply, hitting new multi-year lows — with forecasts showing 2026 averages below $3 per gallon nationally for the first time since 2020 — thanks to American energy dominance.
- Beef, eggs, and coffee prices all declined in January while overall inflation has cooled to 2.4% — a dramatic turnaround from Biden’s runaway highs and a clear sign of relief from President Trump’s pro-growth, anti-inflation agenda.
- Prescription drugs are becoming more affordable thanks to President Trump’s Most Favored Nation reforms and direct savings delivered to patients through TrumpRx.gov — putting money back in Americans’ wallets.
- Mortgage rates have dropped to their lowest levels since 2022, making homeownership more achievable for millions of families chasing the American Dream.
- Apartment rents have declined for six straight months, dipping to their lowest level in four years, with median asking rents down year-over-year in major markets and vacancy rates rising to renter-friendly levels as supply catches up after years of shortages.
Wages Are Rising Fast — Outpacing Inflation and Restoring Purchasing Power
Under Biden, American workers lost nearly $3,000 in purchasing power as inflation outpaced wage growth. In President Trump’s second term:
- Private sector workers have seen strong real wage gains, growing nearly $1,400 in just one year — decisively beating inflation.
- Blue-collar workers are winning biggest: mining workers up ~$2,400, construction workers up ~$2,100, and manufacturing workers up ~$1,700 in real terms.
- Average hourly earnings are up solidly, with weekly earnings growing faster than prices—putting real money back in family pockets.
Private Sector Boom: Jobs for American Workers, Not Bureaucrats
- President Trump has delivered over 615,000 net private sector jobs in his second term, with federal employment falling to its lowest level since 1966 — the lowest level in recorded history as a share of the total workforce.
- All job growth is going to American workers in the private sector — not government expansion or illegal aliens.
Historic Tax Relief Is Putting Thousands More Dollars Back in Pockets
- Thanks to President Trump’s landmark Working Families Tax Cuts Act — opposed by every single Democrat — Americans are seeing significantly larger tax refunds this season.
- Average refunds are up by nearly 15% per filer — with total tax savings exceeding $2,400 for many taxpayers through game-changing provisions like No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, No Tax on Social Security, auto loan interest deductions for American-made vehicles, and much more.
Deregulation Is Slashing Costs and Unleashing Growth
- By rolling back Biden’s expensive and unworkable fuel efficiency mandates, the Trump Administration is saving families $109 billion over the next five years on vehicles.
- Eliminating the flawed Obama-era “Endangerment Finding” — endlessly exploited by Radical Left activists and bureaucrats — has removed the legal foundation for over $1.3 trillion in crushing regulations on American families and businesses.
- Overall, deregulation efforts in 2025 are projected to save Americans a collective $212 billion — roughly $2,500 per family of four.
Economic Strength Is Surging Back
- Since President Trump took office, companies have poured trillion of dollars of new investment into U.S.-based operations — onshoring jobs and fueling investment booms in manufacturing, energy, and technology.
- President Trump is securing fair deals that protect American industries, expand markets, and reduce the trade deficit (down 17% thanks to tariff revenues and growth).
President Trump is delivering real results today, reversing the damage of Democrat policies to put workers and families first. After years of hardship under Biden — soaring costs, eroding wages, and lost opportunities — American families are finally experiencing real turnaround: wages climbing, prices easing, and jobs expanding.
And President Trump is just getting started. More relief is coming — and even greater prosperity awaits — as the Trump Administration’s policies continue to unleash the full potential of the American economy.
A new era of strength, abundance, and golden prosperity is underway.
