The article reports that U.S. real GDP grew at a 4.3% annualized rate in Q3 2025, up from 3.6% in Q2, according to Commerce Department (BEA) figures and coverage by outlets such as The New York Times and Bloomberg. Consumer spending – roughly 70% of the economy – rose at a 3.5% rate, and the quarterly gain was the strongest in two years, surprising analysts who had expected slower growth amid weak consumer sentiment and a softening jobs market. Commentators quoted in the piece say the economy is “defying doubters”; former officials and supporters, including President Trump and economist larry Kudlow, credited policies such as tariffs, tax cuts, deregulation, and investment (including AI) and suggested growth could accelerate further, with Kudlow predicting the program might support up to 5% growth in the coming years. the article juxtaposes upbeat economic data with ongoing debates over policy drivers and outlooks.

As talking heads voiced doom and gloom, the Trump economy continues to boom.

Economic growth, as measured by the Gross domestic Product, grew at a 4.3 percent annual rate from July through September, according to a The New York Times report titled “U.S. Economic Growth Surged in Third Quarter of 2025.”

The Commerce Department announced that the figure topped the rate of 3.6 percent in the second quarter of the year.

Consumer spending, which makes up about 70 percent of economic activity, rose at a 3.5 percent rate over the third quarter.

Even the far-left Times noted the contrast between whining and winning as it reported, “even in the face of negative consumer sentiment and a softening job market, the roughly $30 trillion economy started October on relatively solid footing as a whole, outperforming the bearish expectations of some experts only months before.”

Bret Kenwell, a U.S. investment and options analyst at eToro, also noted that there is a sharp difference between predictions and reality.

“While worries surrounding the jobs market, tariffs and inflation continue to swirl, the economy continues to defy its doubters by chugging higher,” he said according to CBS.

Bloomberg noted that the increase was the strongest increase in two years.

Trump was quick to post about the report Tuesday shortly after the numbers became public.

“The TARIFFS are responsible for the GREAT USA Economic Numbers JUST ANNOUNCED…AND THEY WILL ONLY GET BETTER!” Trump posted on after the GDP number was release.

“Also, NO INFLATION & GREAT NATIONAL SECURITY. Pray for the U.S. Supreme Court!!! President DJT.”

In a recent Op-Ed on Fox Business, economist Larry Kudlow said the economy could grow even further.

“Now, I think the Trump economic program of supply-side tax cuts, deregulation, drill, baby, drill, and free and fair reciprocal trade, is capable of producing 5% GDP growth. That’s right, 5%,” he wrote.

“Not every quarter or every year, but I think with huge business investment, including the AI boom, along with the drop in oil prices, which could actually get us to zero inflation for a while, Mr. Trump’s program could deliver 5% growth next year. Maybe even the year after,” he wrote.

“Trump’s shock and awe reimagination and rejuvenation of a new capitalist path to prosperity is right now completely underestimated by everybody. Friend and foe.”
