Trump’s Economic Boom Was Bullsh*t. Growth Slows And Prices Keep Rising.

Trump officials promised explosive growth, falling inflation and an economic boom. Instead, the GDP figure presented in the segment came in at just 1.5% as prices kept rising and working families absorbed the pain.

Trump officials promised an economic boom, abundant high-paying jobs, falling inflation and growth as high as 5% or even 6%. Roland Martin plays the receipts and calls the claims exactly what they were: bullsh*t.

The GDP figure presented in the segment came in at just 1.5%, below expectations and nowhere near the numbers Howard Lutnick predicted. Roland says, “He lies. They lie,” as he breaks down how Trump’s tariffs, policy shocks and war with Iran are making inflation worse while working families keep paying more for beef, gas, utilities, credit and basic necessities.

Morgan Harper, Director of Policy and Advocacy at the American Economic Liberties Project, explains that even the limited growth being reported is being propped up by consumer spending and risky AI investment. She warns that consumers are already stretched, prices are still rising, small businesses face high borrowing costs and the economy remains dangerously dependent on an AI spending boom that may not be sustainable.

The conversation also exposes the divide between wealthy Trump officials and the people they claim to represent. While administration leaders say CEOs are doing well and consumers secretly feel good, Roland points to declining household savings, rising costs and an economy that increasingly rewards the wealthy while regular people carry the burden.
