President Trump reposted a message on Truth Social on October 30, 2026, saying the Democrat Party and its media are “LYING ABOUT OUR ECONOMY.” The post says gas prices, food prices and unemployment are down, while take-home pay and consumer confidence are up. It makes these as claims. It does not announce a new law, order or policy.
What did Trump post about the economy?
The post is a repost of a message from Mark Levin. It opens with the words “THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND THEIR MEDIA ARE LYING ABOUT OUR ECONOMY AND MUCH MORE! CAPITALISM WORKS, SOCIALISM IS A DISASTER!” You can read the full post on the President’s account: President Trump’s Truth Social post. The post is dated 9:39 a.m. UTC on October 30, 2026.
What does the post claim about working families?
The President’s post lists a series of economic measures in the form of questions, and answers each one. These are his words. The post gives no dollar amounts or percentages for any of them.
| Measure | What the post says |
|---|---|
| Price of gasoline | DOWN |
| Price of food | Flat and, in many cases, DOWN |
| Economic growth | UP |
| Consumer confidence | UP |
| Take-home pay | UP |
| Inflation, compared with the Biden-Democrats inflation | DOWN |
| Foreign investment | UP and setting all-time records |
| Manufacturing growth | UP and setting records |
| Trade deficit | DOWN |
| Tax rates for working people and the middle class | DOWN |
| Unemployment | DOWN |
| Illegal immigration | NONEXISTENT |
| Crime rate | At RECORD LOWS |
For working families, the claims that matter most are the ones about pay, prices and taxes: take-home pay is up, food and gasoline prices are down or flat, and tax rates for working people and the middle class are down.
Is this a new policy or order?
No. The post itself orders nothing and sets no deadline. It describes current conditions and says the “TRUMP/GOP AGENDA IS WORKING AND REVERSED THE DISASTROUS AMERICA-KILLING SOCIALIST POLICIES OF THE BIDEN DEMOCRATS!” The post announces no order or policy. Check official sources for any actual change in tax rates.
How can you check the economy numbers Trump cited?
Compare each claim with the latest official figures. Check gas prices, food prices, unemployment and inflation against the most recent government data. For the trade deficit and manufacturing, look at the latest official trade and industrial reports. For crime and illegal immigration, check current official data. Our earlier coverage of his trump truth social claims tracks how these posts have lined up over time.
Does the post say anything about Democrats and the media?
Yes. The post says the Democrat Party and its media are lying about the economy and “THE DEMOCRAT PARTY” is the target of the attack. For more of his recent statements on Democrats, see our trump sounds the alarm on democrats coverage.
