One Year Later: Larry Kudlow Reflects on Promises Made and Promises Kept

One year into his presidency, Donald Trump has achieved an impressive array of accomplishments. While it’s easy to get distracted by daily controversies, the core reality remains: promises made, promises kept. Central to his agenda is the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill,” which encompasses supply-side tax cuts, deregulation, and a commitment to “drill, baby, drill.” This approach has fostered a climate of free and fair reciprocal trade, resulting in a booming economy. America is currently experiencing one of the hottest economies in the world, operating on all cylinders.

Earlier today, the President addressed the press, stating, “We created super high economic growth and America is booming.” He noted that the fourth quarter GDP is on track to exceed 5 percent growth, with potential for even higher figures. Reflecting on the economic landscape, he pointed out that “under Biden, real incomes declined by $3,000,” while under his administration, “real incomes increased by $2,000 to $3,000, and in some cases, even $5,000,” highlighting a significant contrast.

Trump also urged the media to consider the current gas prices, mentioning that “in some areas, gasoline is as low as $1.99 a gallon.” He emphasized his administration’s achievements, dubbing it “the great big beautiful bill delivering the largest tax cuts in history,” and concluded with, “We have the hottest country in the world.”

In addition to economic growth, Trump has focused on deporting serious criminals and challenging left-wing woke culture. His administration is committed to maintaining low energy prices that benefit the entire economy while nurturing advancements in AI and technology.

Moreover, the administration is standing firm with trading partners to level the playing field, rewarding success, and attracting trillions of dollars in global investments. The stock market is thriving, inflation is decreasing, and wages are on the rise. Trump’s policies have effectively pushed back against Russia and China in the Western Hemisphere, while also ensuring Israel’s security and advocating for regime change in Iran.

Let me reiterate: promises made, promises kept.

Many pollsters and members of the left-leaning press fail to grasp the significance of these accomplishments and why Trump remains popular in ways they cannot quantify. Above all, he is defending America—economically, militarily, and culturally. This commitment is evident in discussions surrounding Greenland.

Scott Bessent, Treasury Man, articulated this perspective well during a conversation with Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo at Davos: “The president has a very strong view on Western Hemisphere security and believes that the U.S. should not outsource our national security. He believes that Greenland is essential for the Golden Dome missile shield.”

Bessent further explained that Trump is concerned about potential incursions into Greenland, asserting that it should be part of the United States to prevent conflict rather than engage the U.S. in a hot war.

As I emphasized in last night’s discussion, the President is open to negotiation. While there may be some volatility in the stock market today, he stated clearly:

“The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades.”

Trump’s willingness to negotiate reflects his transformative leadership. A year into his presidency, he is making America a better place by reinstating God and religion into daily life, alongside ensuring economic and military security.

And you know what? At Davos, amidst the left-wing elites and globalists constantly critiquing Trump, if they just keep their yaps shut for a while, he’ll make their countries better off too.
