President Trump’s Second Quarter GDP Higher Than Expected: We’re Winning!

By The Blog Source

This spring, the U.S. economy grew more quickly than anticipated; in the second quarter, GDP increased at an annual pace of 3.8%. White House deputy press secretary Kush Desai attributed the "long-term restoration of American greatness" to President Trump's policies of tax cuts, deregulation, tariffs, and energy abundance. GDP expanded at a 3.8% annual rate from April to June, according to a Commerce Department report released Thursday. This was higher than the 3.3% estimate that was previously used and far higher than projections that anticipated no change.

The growth rate for consumer spending was raised from 1.6% to 2.5%. A crucial indicator of core demand, final sales to private domestic buyers, increased from 1.9% to 2.9%.

Additionally, exports expanded more quickly than initially anticipated, contributing more than half a point to the GDP overall due to foreign demand for American goods and services.

This spring, America's economy was even more robust than initially thought, as new official data confirmed that GDP grew at an annual pace of 3.8% in the second quarter. The Commerce Department revealed the data Thursday, which exceeded economists' estimates of no change and was a significantly higher adjustment from the previous 3.3% estimate.

The updated report reflected stronger household demand. Final sales to private domestic buyers, a crucial gauge of underlying demand, increased to 2.9%, while consumer spending expanded at a pace of 2.5 percent, almost one full percentage point faster than the original projection. Both data show that consumers and corporations are driving a larger economic recovery, following a 0.6% decline in the first quarter when businesses hurried to import products ahead of President Trump's tariffs.

Kush Desai, the deputy press secretary for the White House, emphasized the study as proof that Trump's program is working. "The Trump agenda of tax cuts, deregulation, tariffs, and energy abundance has contributed to America's economic recovery: updated data shows even stronger real GDP growth of 3.8 percent in Q2 2025," Desai stated. He stated that the momentum was just beginning. "Core capital goods orders beat expectations, paving the way for robust investment growth in Q3."

With prices increasing at a 2.1% annual pace in the second quarter rather than the previous 2%, inflation was little more than anticipated. But according to government officials, the economy is starting a new phase of steady expansion.

"With Joe Biden's inflation crisis under control, we are now laying the groundwork for a long-term restoration of American greatness," Desai said, adding that President Trump has promised to "make America wealthy again."
