BURIED Story: How 10 Million Escaped Welfare

Despite relentless mainstream media narratives painting President Trump as a divisive figure, his documented record across two terms reveals transformative achievements that delivered unprecedented prosperity, security, and opportunity to Americans across every demographic—facts the establishment press continues to ignore.

Story Highlights

  • Trump’s first term created 7 million jobs with record-low unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans while lifting 10 million citizens off welfare.
  • His second term delivered 365 documented wins in 365 days, including America’s first negative net migration in 50 years and $10 trillion in investment commitments.
  • Manufacturing rebounded with 1.2 million new jobs and energy independence achieved as the U.S. became a net natural gas exporter for the first time since 1957.
  • Veterans experienced a 60% reduction in VA claim backlogs while middle-class families saw incomes rise by $6,000 under policies prioritizing American workers over globalist agendas.

Economic Revival Through America First Policies

President Trump’s first term from 2017 to 2020 generated economic growth that establishment economists claimed impossible. His administration created over 7 million jobs while achieving unemployment rates of 3.5%, the lowest in half a century. Manufacturing jobs surged by 1.2 million, directly countering decades of outsourcing to China and Mexico. The Dow Jones soared past 30,000 for the first time, with stock market gains benefiting 160 million employed Americans. Tax cuts and deregulation fueled quarterly GDP growth reaching 4.2%, vindicating supply-side economics that prioritize producers over government redistribution schemes.

Minority Communities Experience Historic Gains

The numbers tell a story corporate media refuses to acknowledge. African American unemployment hit record lows, as did rates for Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans. Poverty rates plummeted across demographics while 7 million Americans exited food stamp dependency, reclaiming self-sufficiency from government welfare traps. Middle-class families gained $6,000 in real income, countering inflation pressures from prior administrations’ fiscal mismanagement. Rural communities received $12 billion in agricultural support and $1.3 billion for broadband infrastructure, ending digital divides the left ignored. These achievements demonstrate how conservative economic principles—lower taxes, reduced regulation, and energy independence—deliver prosperity government programs promise but never provide.

Border Security and National Sovereignty Restored

Trump’s second term addressed the immigration crisis Biden’s open-border policies created. His administration executed 2.6 million deportations with 650,000 arrests in 2025 alone, removing 400,000 criminal aliens who threatened American communities. For the first time in 50 years, the United States achieved negative net migration, ending the demographic invasion eroding national sovereignty and straining taxpayer resources. Fentanyl seizures increased 56%, disrupting cartel networks profiting from Biden-era laxity. These actions protect American workers from wage suppression and communities from crime, priorities the left dismisses as xenophobic while ignoring constitutional duties to secure borders and enforce immigration law.

Government Efficiency and Taxpayer Relief

Trump’s war on bureaucratic bloat saved taxpayers $215 billion through eliminating wasteful contracts and slashing DEI programs that politicize federal agencies. The Department of Education suffered a 50% workforce reduction, returning control to states and parents rather than Washington elites pushing woke curricula. Federal agencies cut 228 burdensome regulations in his second term’s first year, freeing businesses from compliance costs that kill innovation. Wasteful spending like $1,500 daily consulting contracts vanished under scrutiny. Veterans benefited from 25 new VA clinics and 3 million processed claims, reversing Biden-era backlogs. These reforms prove conservative governance delivers accountability leftist spending sprees destroy.

Investment Surge and Technological Leadership

Trump secured $10 trillion in investment commitments during his second term, with $500 billion pledged for artificial intelligence development from companies like SoftBank and Oracle. Data centers attracted $20 billion in construction, creating 151,000 jobs in February 2026 alone, 93% in the private sector. Quantum computing institutes received $1 billion to maintain American technological superiority against Chinese aggression. Energy dominance surged with coal production up 60% and oil output at historic highs, rejecting climate alarmism that enriches foreign adversaries while impoverishing American families. These initiatives position America to lead innovation rather than surrender competitiveness to globalist trade agreements favoring multinational corporations over workers.
