No President has ever done this except Trump — and he just did it again.
Twitter / X / Citizen's Free Press ^ | June 17, 2025 | Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent

Thanks to @POTUS’s pro-growth, America First policies, real wages for hourly workers are up nearly 2% in the first five months of @realDonaldTrump’s second term — the strongest growth in 60 years.

No president has done that before — except President Trump in his first term.

Hardworking Americans and Main Street businesses have never had a stronger ally in the @WhiteHouse .

Tells you how much illegal immigration has put weight on real wage growth.

That’s what happens when you have a successful business man who loves this countryand not a politician who despises it and it’s people for president

I can’t believe I once supported the elder Bush.

Me too and Bush Jr as well, but the alternative in the general election was worse. I did not support either Bush in the primaries.

The positive effects on wages caused by massive deportation is almost immediate.

Great reason to crack down on anyone that hires illegals.

The freak show in the background vastly understates the freakishness of Democrat freaks today.

“Tells you how much illegal immigration has put weight on real wage growth.”

And identifies all those who were fine with it as the anti-American dregs they are.

“....not a politician who despises it and it’s people for president”

And not a corrupt and traitorous child molester and sexual predator.

What does supported mean? Did you want Dukakis or Clinton?

Super important stat coupled with low inflation.

Meaningful work should be an important part of everyone’s life and Trump makes it more worthwhile.
