"The Blue-Collar Presidency"
“Wages rose, inequality fell, and the unemployment rate plunged to a 50-year low.”
In a recent Biden speech, he asked the audience to name one thing Trump did for the American people. This led me to revisit what life was like under the Trump administration.
A publication titled “The Blue-Collar Presidency " outlines an incredible list of accomplishments that highlight how “Wages rose, inequality fell, and the unemployment rate plunged to a 50-year low.”
The priority blue-collar, middle-class agenda paid off, despite the pandemic and many natural disasters that occurred during Trump’s first term, including:
Wage growth for workers has outpaced wage growth for managers.
Wage growth for those without a bachelor’s degree has outpaced wage growth for those with a bachelor’s degree or higher.
Wage growth for lower-income people—those at the 10th percentile of the income distribution—has outpaced wage growth for wealthier Americans.
Average real household income hit a record high in 2019, while poverty rates hit a record low, including for African Americans and Hispanic Americans.
These achievements were not accidental.
The report notes, “President Trump’s economic agenda is tailor-made to rebuild our great American middle class, transferring power from affluent white-collar professionals and activists to workers, small businesses, manufacturers, and others once left behind by globalization’s failures.”
“It’s about more than cutting taxes and growing our economy—although both are important. It’s about eliminating unnecessary degree requirements that help the privileged but hurt skilled workers. It’s about ending overregulation that creates jobs for lawyers and consultants but kills jobs for manufacturers and energy producers. It’s about fixing trade deals that boosted multinational corporations but shipped our jobs to China and Mexico.”
“President Trump is fighting for the forgotten Americans once sidelined by our country’s own politicians, both Democrat and Republican.”
At the time, the Trump administration was leading a “Great American Comeback that has seen over 1.4 million manufacturing and construction jobs return in just the past 5 months alone. All told, the U.S. economy has added over 11 million jobs since May.”
“Today, our political class spends too much time trying to impress one another and too little time working for you.”
I remember what life was like for my family, including my adult children. I recall the hope and optimism we felt to build a great future, and I remember my neighbors and community at large doing better than ever. We can have that again!

I began preaching to the people around me in the early 2000's that China has a monopoly on rare earths, mining, manufacturing, etc., and if we don't do something the day will come that they will choke the life out of us. Pres Trump is the first President to address those problems and while he worked hard to address the issues, he was fought against hard by the democrats and rino's. When Joe came into office he passed his massive spending bills that were to build infrastructure, mining, and manufacturing claiming it was his idea to bring these changes back to the US. No, it was Trumps plan, but Joes administration has proven that they didn't help the mining industry in the US, they actually made it harder to open a mine while spending taxpayer money to open mines in Africa and a few other 3rd world nations. He halted energy infrastructure for fossil fuels while helping to build pipelines and drill new wells in muslim nations, Africa, and the far east. They blocked any new LNG ports from being built in the US while building them for ME nations to export their gas. Trump closed the border, Joe opened it wide open pouring in millions of illegals mixed with hardened criminals and terrorists. Trump stopped the endless wars, Joe got us into the Ukraine war and war in Israel. Joe and Kamala have accomplished their mission of bringing down the US and building up our enemies. People claiming that life is better under Kamala than it was under Trump reminds me of a man I worked with in the early 2000's. He said in the 90's he was living in Arizona, unemployed, living out of his car. He claimed life was better under Bill Clinton than under Bush. What? Under Bill he was suffering, under Bush he was working as a shear press operator making a living wage. Talk about a blind man who couldn't see or speak truth.
