Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick offered an optimistic view on the economic future of the United States during a recent appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Despite the chorus of doom laden forecasts from major financial institutions like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs predicting a recession within the year, Lutnick firmly believes that the American economy is going to keep thriving under the leadership of Donald Trump.
When asked whether Americans should be worried about a potential downturn, Lutnick dismissed the idea altogether. He pointed out that betting against Trump’s success is akin to the skeptics of yesteryear who doubted his ability to win. According to him, those who invest in a Trump-led economy will be greatly rewarded, indicating that the country is primed for growth and progress.
Lutnick emphasized that while global tariffs may have raised eyebrows, Trump’s strategy of tit-for-tat has already begun to yield results. By signifying that the U.S. wouldn’t stand for unjust tariffs, businesses are responding positively. Lutnick’s belief is clear: as other nations lower their tariffs, the U.S. will unleash a wave of economic activity, paving the way for unprecedented growth.
He also brought to light the staggering amount of $1.3 trillion in new investments heading into America. Each trillion translates to about 1% growth in GDP, suggesting that the economy is more resilient and dynamic than fearmongers are willing to admit. Lutnick’s confidence in Trump’s ability to bring about economic recovery is palpable, and he portrays a future filled with opportunities rather than pitfalls.
As Americans look ahead, Lutnick remains steadfast in his convictions—there is no recession looming on the horizon, just a horizon that’s full of potential. With strong leadership and American ingenuity, the best is yet to come, and that’s something every American can rally behind.
