America’s workers delivered another clear vote of confidence in the direction of this country when the Labor Department’s May jobs report showed nonfarm payrolls rising by 172,000 and the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.3 percent — a solid reminder that economic recovery is real and tangible for hardworking Americans. This is the kind of no-nonsense, results-driven metric that mainstream media refuse to celebrate, but moms and dads across the heartland feel it at the kitchen table.
President Trump wasted no time pointing to the numbers as proof that his policies are producing results, taking to his platform to remind Americans that jobs and growth matter more than virtue-signaling economic theories from coastal elites. His critics and a jittery Wall Street treated the data like bad news because higher-for-longer interest-rate fears spooked tech valuations — a bizarre reaction when real people are getting back to work.
At the same time, the administration is pressing hard on national security and diplomacy, working a tough line in negotiations with Iran while making clear that concessions will not come at the expense of American safety or our allies. White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly has been front and center explaining that talks continue but that the president’s red lines — including ensuring Iran never reconstitutes a nuclear threat — remain immutable. Our leaders are proving they can secure both our economy and our security, a contrast with the feckless approaches of the last administration.
Markets and the Federal Reserve are now forced to reckon with a stronger-than-expected labor market as policymakers meet this month, and that should embolden the Trump approach of tax relief, deregulation, and pro-growth energy and trade policies that actually create jobs. The left and their media allies will try to spin every uptick as a crisis; patriotic Americans know better — growth means opportunity and dignity for millions. If Republicans press this message relentlessly, the contrast in competence and results will be unmistakable to voters in every blue-collar county.
