Optimism for Trump economy already creating a 'blue collar boom'

Hope and optimism have grown across virtually all sectors since Donald Trump returned to the White House. Well, everyone except DEI hires and government employees, maybe. But normal people have been excited for a chance at actual economic prosperity in the coming four years, after former President Joe Biden took the economy headfirst into a money pit.

The dreams of a bright future have also started for the manufacturing sector, which has seen a regression in the last two years or so. Granted, that was not for lack of trying from Biden. They tried subsidies to pour money into new factories and plants, but nothing worked. Mostly because ideas from the Green New Deal were embedded in that. Which comes with endless regulations and red tape.

But according to John Carney from Breitbart, it is the dawn of a new era in the U.S., and spirits are riding high again after those couple slumping years.

"It has gone, on every survey they take, from a contracting sector now to an expanding sector," he says.

In one of those surveys, the S&P Global purchasing managers index, recorded one of its biggest reversals in confidence. The index moves into positive territory for the first time in seven months, after dragging for the last couple years.

It is a byproduct as well of economic uncertainty lifting post-election. We have seen before what Trump can do with the economy. We know how poorly Kamala would have handled it.

Meanwhile, Democrats continue going ballistic over Trump's plans for the economy, which includes tariffs. They have screamed it will create an unlivable situation, and prices will go up. But, ironically, they are actually helping Trump.

"They have been buying a lot more stuff, and this may actually be accelerating the economy almost out of spite," he says. "They fear what he will do...they have said now is the time to make big purchases over fear what will happen in the future...so, we may actually get a bit of a boost to the economy from the people who despise Donald Trump."

A healthier economy is on the rise once again, as Trump digs into his first 100 days. Carney adds that this is one of the largest turnarounds in business confidence ever recorded, and we have officially exited the 'Biden pandemic economy.'
