Trump’s Job Market Wins Force Media’s Hand
In a stunning shift, even CNN was forced to acknowledge what Americans are seeing with their own eyes — President Donald J. Trump’s economic resurgence is real, and the numbers don’t lie.
On Friday, the network conceded that the U.S. economy under Trump’s leadership added 177,000 jobs in April, exceeding projections by over 30%. Mainstream economists had predicted a modest increase of 135,000, but Trump’s economic engine once again proved stronger than anticipated.
Relentless Hiring Under Trump
CNN business correspondent Matt Egan openly admitted on-air, “We were bracing for a slowdown in the jobs market. We did not get that. We got steady hiring. This jobs market is just relentless.” For a network that has spent years portraying Trump’s policies as economic poison, this was a rare — and revealing — moment of honesty.
The unemployment rate held firm at 4.2%, signaling a steady labor market amid global uncertainty and the aftershocks of Biden-era inflation.
Egan added, “These are still very solid numbers,” noting that April’s hiring wasn’t far off from March’s 185,000 jobs added.
Trump’s Tariffs Fueling Resilience, Not Recession
Despite efforts to undermine Trump’s tariff policies, the April jobs report contradicts the fear-mongering. Instead of a looming economic crash, the numbers revealed strength, momentum, and a public ready to re-enter the workforce.
Seema Shah of Principal Asset Management told CNN, “Job numbers remain very strong, suggesting there was an impressive degree of resilience in the economy in play before the tariff shock.”
Even CNN couldn’t spin this one: Trump’s America-first economic strategy is working — and it’s just getting started.
Heritage Foundation: This Is a Blowout
Heritage Foundation economist Stephen Moore offered a more detailed analysis on Fox Business: “436,000 increase in the number of people who are employed… The labor force participation rate rose. So, this is a very strong number.”
That jump in employment — from 163.5 million in March to 163.9 million in April — underscores a broader truth: Americans are going back to work, wages are steady, and inflation is flattening.
Trump Responds: “Just Getting Started!”
President Trump took to Truth Social to declare victory:
“Groceries (and eggs!) down, energy down, mortgage rates down, employment strong, and much more good news, as Billions of Dollars pour in from Tariffs.”
He added,
“Just like I said, and we’re only in a TRANSITION STAGE, just getting started!!! Consumers have been waiting for years to see pricing come down. NO INFLATION, THE FED SHOULD LOWER ITS RATE!!!”
Conclusion: A Narrative Collapse for the Left
While CNN and left-leaning outlets scramble to find a dark cloud in this golden economic news, one thing is undeniable — Trump’s policies are delivering. April’s jobs report is more than just a win; it’s a rebuke of the anti-growth narrative pushed for months by corporate media and political elites.
The American economy is surging forward. And once again, President Trump is proving that bold, unapologetic leadership delivers real results.
