The Gross Domestic Product number is in.
The numbers are great, and as we seem to keep finding with President Donald Trump's economy, their better than what was predicted. The second-quarter first read GDP is at three percent.
As Bullseye Brief's Adam Johnson noted on Fox Business, if the GDP is outpacing inflation, that's the "best of both worlds."
The White House said it "shatters expectations."
President Donald Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt both trumpeted the news and called on the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to lower rates.
Trump called on Powell to let people buy and refinance their homes.
Leavitt said:
Today, GDP growth came in above market expectations, and yesterday, consumer confidence rose. Americans trust in President Trump’s America First economic agenda that continues to prove the so-called ‘experts’ wrong. President Trump has reduced America’s reliance on foreign products, boosted investment in the US, and created thousands of jobs — delivering on his promise to Make America Wealthy Again. The data is clear, and there are no more excuses — now is the time for ‘too late’ Powell to cut the rates!
What truly capped it off was how CNBC's Joe Kernen mocked the anticipated Democratic reaction to the great news. Rick Santelli pointed out, despite what the Democrats might say, that yes, this is success.
Kernen pointed out how none of the things the Democrats have been scaremongering about had come to pass, and he predicted they would be flipping out again.
"The left, the people who don't like the president, don't want things to work. Senator Elizabeth Warren will come on and say, 'Inflation is out of control, and the economy is getting killed by what's happening by these tariffs!"
"This 3 percent, with the market at new highs... and really we haven't seen inflation go up. But none of these 'horrible things' have happened. But they still talk like it's happening. It's amazing."
He referenced Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), but it could have been any of them. We reported earlier on Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) spreading a story that no one believed about a shopper at a grocery store moaning about prices being too high.

Santelli said that was a good reason not to have a member of Congress as your money manager. "The Democrats... don't want to see the current Administration have some success—but there's no doubt that this is some success."
You would think that the Democrats would be happy that things are getting better for Americans. But that would further kill their possibility of getting back in control, and that's all they think about.
Editor's Note: President Trump is leading America into the "Golden Age" as Democrats try desperately to stop it.
