You've got job creation, you've got economic growth, you've got eighteen trillion dollars of new investment.

The president's main priority has been to put America first and get the supply chains back to America so that we're not reliant on, you know, Asia for semiconductor chips, which we need for defense or

And and so matched

And the bottom line is that if you look at the overall economy, then things are really, really booming. matched
