Job Creators Network Statement on Q4 GDP

Alfredo Ortiz, CEO of Job Creators Network, released the following statement on Q4 GDP, which rose by 1.4%, and full-year 2025 GDP, which rose by 2.2%:

“Fourth quarter GDP growth doesn’t reflect the true strength of the Trump economy. Economic growth last quarter was severely weighed down by a dramatic drop in government spending, a key component of the GDP figure. This is a result of Democrats causing the longest government shutdown in US history in an effort to hurt Trump. The Trump administration has also reduced the parasitical federal workforce by about 300,000, freeing up resources for the private sector.

“The real economy, led by consumer spending and private investment, remains strong, in line with Q3 economic growth of 4.4%. Look at the record stock market, low unemployment rate, and rising real wages for additional proof. Trump’s policies — including tax cuts, deregulation, and low inflation — have cleared the way for an American economic renaissance led by small businesses.”
