WASHINGTON, D.C. December 17, 2025 – President Donald J. Trump delivered an upbeat message to the nation via social media on Wednesday evening, proclaiming major achievements in his second term and forecasting an unprecedented economic boom ahead.
In a post shared by the official White House account on X (formerly Twitter), accompanied by a photo of the President speaking from a podium in a festively decorated White House room—complete with Christmas trees, American flags, and a portrait of George Washington—Trump stated:
“Tonight, after 11 months, our border is secure, inflation is stopped, wages are up, prices are down, our nation is strong, America is respected, and OUR COUNTRY IS BACK.
We are poised for an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen.”
The remarks come on the heels of Trump’s primetime address to the nation on December 17, where he touted similar successes, including a secured southern border, rising wages, and strengthened global respect for the United States. During that speech from the White House’s Diplomatic Reception Room—adorned with holiday decorations—the President also announced a “warrior dividend” bonus of $1,776 for over 1.4 million U.S. military service members, funded in part by tariff revenues.
The post quickly garnered thousands of likes and reposts, with supporters praising the administration’s progress, while critics questioned the claims amid ongoing debates over inflation and tariff impacts.
As the holiday season unfolds, the White House continues to emphasize themes of national renewal and prosperity under Trump’s leadership.
