Trump touts economic resurgence, calls US economy ‘golden age’ under his presidency at Miami forum

MIAMI, FLORIDA: President Donald Trump delivered a speech on the US economy at the American Business Forum on Wednesday, November 5, telling business leaders that the “American dream is surging back to life” under his presidency.

Trump discussed what he described as a “changing” economy and the renewed optimism he’s seen since returning to office nearly ten months ago. He also highlighted his administration’s tax cuts and economic policies aimed at boosting growth.

The president referred to what he called a national “resurgence” and a potential “golden age” for American businesses. His remarks came a day after GOP losses in several key elections and followed an earlier Truth Social post in which he addressed the party’s setbacks against Democrats.

Donald Trump touts economic growth, calls US economy ‘the golden age of America’

At the Business Forum, Trump emphasized America’s growth. He said, “Prices are coming down very fast, and we’re bringing them back to the beautiful part where you can truly say we’re talking about the American dream again.” He added, “This is the golden age of America, and we are back.” 

He went on, “You’re hearing it again more than ever because we have the most successful economy in the history of our country. During my first four years, we rebuilt the economy. We had the biggest tax cut in history, the biggest regulation cut in history. That’s why we had the great economy, and now the only difference is we’re doing even better this time.”

Trump said the nation had regained its global standing. “We’re a great nation again. It’s happened faster than I thought, I’ll be honest,” he said. “America’s respected again. America is a great nation again.”

He reiterated his pledge to strengthen the country further. “We will make our country stronger, richer, safer, freer, and greater than ever before,” he said. “And every day my administration will fight, fight, fight, and America will win, win, win.”

Donald Trump administration highlights job and wage gains in economic agenda

At the Miami forum, Trump outlined new opportunities for American workers. According to Fox Business, White House officials noted that more than 183,000 new apprentices had started this year, backed by $84 million in training grants and an artificial intelligence plan designed to prepare the workforce for a tech-driven economy.

The administration also projected 500,000 new jobs by 2025 and announced $61 million in funding for homeless and at-risk veterans. Officials further highlighted ongoing efforts to lower healthcare costs. Although the release of third-quarter GDP data was delayed by the government shutdown, the Atlanta Fed’s GDP model estimated 4 percent growth for the period.

Not just focusing on overall growth, Trump pointed to three key indicators of what he described as an economic resurgence—record-high stock markets, rising wages, and improved job opportunities for American-born workers. He noted that nearly “2 million more American-born workers are employed” under his leadership.

“Hundred percent of all new jobs created in America under my administration have been created in the private sector,” Trump said, calling the current job market “hot again.”

Addressing the ongoing shutdown, Trump acknowledged the challenges and underscored the urgency of reopening the government soon. “We have to get the country open,” he said.
