President Trump returned to the battleground state of Pennsylvania, delivering a high-energy rally in Mount Pocono that framed his first 11 months back in office as a dramatic economic turnaround, one he said is already being felt in New York and across the Northeast.
Before a packed crowd, President Trump highlighted job creation, falling prices, and rising wages as evidence that the nation is “back on track” after what he called the “economic catastrophe” left behind by the Biden administration. For New Yorkers facing some of the nation’s highest living costs, Trump emphasized falling gas, dairy, and rent prices—particularly significant as inflation has hit the state harder than most. “We’re drilling more oil than ever before,” he said. “Prices are way down. Four states just reported gas at $1.99 a gallon.”
He contrasted that with what he described as steep wage losses under President Biden. “Under Biden, real wages plummeted by $3,000 a year,” The President noted. “Under Trump, the typical factory worker has already seen wages increase by more than $1,300, and that’s in just a few months.”
Trump’s tax-cut agenda also carried major implications for New York’s workforce and retirees. “That’s No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, No Tax on Social Security for our great seniors,” he said, proposals that could shift billions back into the pockets of service-sector and union workers across the state.
The president also promoted “Trump Accounts,” a new program offering every newborn American a federally seeded $1,000 investment account.
Framing his agenda as a full reversal of Democratic policy, Trump closed by declaring, “After just ten months, our border is secure, our spirit is restored, inflation is stopped, wages are up, prices are down… America is back.”
