This is what the American people vote for and it’s great!
Just before ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, President-elect Donald Trump made a bold promise to the American people: “We will give you a massive incentive like no other nation ever has.” His plan, he announced, includes substantial tax cuts, an ambitious energy agenda, and trade reforms aimed at securing a prosperous future for American workers and businesses.
“We’re slashing your taxes. We are going to slash them very substantially,” Trump said, highlighting his administration’s commitment to reducing the corporate tax rate to 15%—a move that could dramatically boost U.S. competitiveness on the global stage. Trump’s signature tax cuts, which reduced the corporate rate from as high as 42% to 21%, were hailed as a “miracle” by many in the business community. And now, with the new 15% target, Trump is doubling down on his promise to make America the most attractive place in the world to do business.
However, there’s a catch: this tax relief will only be available to companies that make their products in America. This “America First” tax policy is designed to incentivize companies to bring manufacturing back to U.S. soil, creating jobs and revitalizing American industry.
Alongside these tax cuts, Trump is pushing for a bold agenda to unleash America’s energy potential. He often championed “drill, baby, drill” during his first term, and he reiterated that stance, boasting that the U.S. is now the top energy producer in the world. “We’re going to be No. 1-plus,” he declared, predicting that America’s energy dominance will help lower consumer prices and ease the financial pressure many families face.
Inflation, which has been a significant concern for American families, especially in essential areas like groceries, gasoline, and rent, was also addressed. Trump vowed that rising costs would be reversed under his administration, saying, “That should never happen in America, and it’s not going to happen.” He reassured Americans that with his leadership, the nation would see an economic boom “the likes of which nobody’s ever seen before.”
As Trump prepares for his second term, his focus remains clear: secure American prosperity through lower taxes, energy independence, and trade policies that prioritize American workers. With these sweeping reforms, Trump aims to ensure that the American Dream is accessible to all—through hard work, fair competition, and an economy that puts America first.
