THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD. The U.S. poverty rate just hit an all-of-history low. American households recorded their highest real median income in history.

It gets better. 975,000 new jobs were created JUST in August and September 2026, according to the latest household survey. That's nearly a million more Americans working in just two months.

And we're supposed to believe Trump's economy is a disaster?

Official child poverty fell to just 13.4 percent, its lowest recorded rate. And that's before we even talk about violent crime dropping to its lowest rate since 1900: that's a BIG quality of life improvement, especially for children in inner cities.

Trump changed the incentives for investment. His tax law made immediate expensing permanent for qualifying equipment. A business can deduct the full cost when it puts that equipment to work.

That makes buying better tools more attractive. Better tools let a worker produce more in the same hour. A company that can profitably expand hires MORE people, not less, and competing employers give those people more bargaining power and higher wages.

Your boss's ability to make money has everything to do with his ability to pay you more. Treat profits as an offense and you'll quickly lose the expansion, the hiring, and the raises those profits could finance.

That's why Barack Obama's "you didn't build that" economy hit just 1.6% annual GDP growth, while Trump's is clocking in at 3.4% and rising.

And the things those workers produce are how supply catches up with demand, and how eventually, prices fall. Like they do for televisions.

If Americans need more energy, produce more energy. If they need more goods, let companies build the factories that make them. Delaying a plant doesn't abolish demand for what it would produce. It sends the order somewhere else, and the job to Mexico or China.

A family paying too much for necessities needs more supply and higher earnings. How does it help that family by making American production harder?

But Trump tackled the bottom end too. No taxes on tips. No taxes on overtime (and there's a LOT of overtime coming as the expansion accelerates). And FINALLY, no taxes on almost everyone's Social Security benefits.

Government should serve everyone, from top to bottom. Trump's does.

Democrats want to campaign against corporate profits while workers need the jobs, investment, and productivity those profits make possible. They want to talk about "affordability" after printing money for four years and closing countless refineries that produce our gas.

@larry_kudlow calls this the greatest story never told. So go tell it. People have no idea. Because the Enemedia lies nonstop. They're just an arm of the Democrats' campaign.

Tell your friends what real income means. Explain why investment matters to their paychecks. Show them that more production is how we make the things they need more affordable.

And tell them the extraordinary progress we're making. It was never going to happen all at once. You wouldn't go to the gym and immediately look shredded.

But it's happening. Now.

Tell our story. Vote. Help your friends go vote. Put them in your car and take them.

And let Trump cook.
