President Donald Trump, in a lengthy post on X, cited S&P Global data to claim that U.S. business growth has reached its highest level in more than five years. “S&P Global reported this week that U.S. Business Growth is at its HIGHEST LEVEL IN MORE THAN FIVE YEARS and, if you take out the distorted COVID Reopening figures, the mark goes back even further,” Trump wrote. He said this means “MORE ORDERS, MORE OUTPUT, MORE AMERICAN WORKERS BEING HIRED,” with manufacturing growing, businesses expanding, and demand strong.

Trump also highlighted other economic achievements: U.S. real median household income is now the highest ever recorded; the poverty rate is at its lowest level on record; U.S. goods exports in 2026 are on pace for their highest level in history; and trillions of dollars in new investments are pouring into the country. He accused the media and Democrats of hating these reports and record-setting numbers, and urged voters to support Republican and “Trump” candidates in the midterm elections.

“Business is growing. Americans are earning more money than ever before, Poverty is at its All Time Lowest Level, and Exports are surging!” Trump wrote. “Just look at the Numbers — THE BEST IN HISTORY. WE HAVE ALREADY MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, BUT NOW WE WILL REACH NEW LEVELS OF GREATNESS.”
