President Trump believes that the strong economic data from the United States, including a 4.3% GDP growth rate in the third quarter (higher than the previous forecast of 3.2%), is attributable to tariffs and robust government policies.

He asserts that most economists have misjudged the situation and claims that his tax measures and legislation have promoted investment, maintained high levels of consumption, improved exports, reduced imports and trade deficits, curbed inflation, strengthened national security, and opened a new golden age for the American economy, with expectations of even stronger growth momentum in the future.
