LARRY KUDLOW: Share your economic hope, Mr

President Trump will address the nation tonight in a very important speech. I hope you are looking forward more than back. What do I mean by that? He has an impressive list of achievements in his first year. Most notably, closing the border and stopping illegal immigration. Passing one big, good bill, with tax cuts that include growth, termination, drill, baby, drill, and other features. This was a great success.

Single, he has changed the culture by reversing all the nonsense that has arisen and replacing it with traditional values. And especially to restore God and religion. He also signed more than 200 executive orders, and for my money, the most important of them, he dumped Joe Biden on the far left of the Green New Deal, the existential threat of climate change, nonsense. He also used his pen to destabilize many parts of the economy. And it strengthened the development of AI. He established a strong framework for peace in the Middle East. And, of course, he still works in Russia and Ukraine. I think it’s a good year for one record. And I leave out many other good commandments, including national security.

But my point about looking ahead is that I would like to see three-quarters of the speech predicting a very positive economic outlook. And he left only one quarter of the first year’s profits. If people disagree with me on this, including Trump’s biggest supporters, I understand, the president’s speeches always have a hard time finding a way to get their points across.

I support Mr. Trump in almost everything he has done, including his controversial policy of free trade and fairness. But I think he is there too. And there was never any retaliation for the trade war of the 1930s. And the President makes good deals all over the world. And he made $100 billion in tax revenue.

But I also want him to tell people how great the economy is going to be next year and beyond. We are already in the midst of some business growth since the tax cuts, and 100% spending. Factories are being built. That means more employment, higher wages, and bigger take-home pay so the people sitting at their kitchen tables have bigger smiles on their faces.

His drill, baby, has already caused oil prices to crash and gasoline prices to drop. That means lower costs for hundreds of economic sectors. That also means that the inflation rate will drop, possibly by a few percent, and interest rates will follow inflation. That means the economy will grow more in all segments of the population, you can get 5% GDP without inflation.

Home prices and shelters are already leveling off. Mortgage rates are falling. I would like Mr. Trump shared his vision that reimagines American capitalism as a growth engine. Attracting billions of dollars worldwide because, yes, America is the hottest place in the world.

You know what? This is the Christmas season, and we could all use a morale boost. Mr. Trump is optimistic about the economy. And hopefully he can share that mindset for a long time with the rest of the country and for that matter, the rest of the world.
