Dow Jones Index Reaches Historic Milestone, Showing Trump’s Policies Are Working – RedState
If you listen to the Democrats, you would think we are in a Great Depression-style economic crisis and the sky is falling. Tariffs will destroy the nation! they cried.
I remember Jimmy Carter’s ’70s, and the word “malaise” was incredibly apt to describe the general mood.
This is not what we are currently seeing in America under Donald Trump’s leadership, and while the stock markets are only one sign of our economic health, they are an important sign. And they kick butt:
The Dow Jones industrial stocks crossed the 50,000 point threshold for the first time on Friday.
The star stock average climbed more than 2%, or about 1,100 points, to reach a new all-time high. All but two stocks in the blue-chip average rose that day. Nvidia gained around 7%. Caterpillar added 6%. 3M rose 4%.
Investors attribute this growth to the resilience of the economy and corporate profits, believing that the crisis of recent days goes beyond economic fundamentals.
🚨 HOLY SHIT. Experts are stunned after the DOW just reached 50,000 points for the first time in HISTORY under President Trump!
“This is an absolute record! On track for the 5th closing record in 2026!” 🔥

Of course, many Americans are not in the stock market and will not see the immediate benefits of this important step. That said, when markets are doing well, it often indicates that the economy as a whole is thriving, and that’s a good thing for everyone.
This certainly calms the “panics” that have been predicting economic catastrophe since the moment Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term:

Other indexes also saw significant gains:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) led the way higher, jumping about 2.2%, or more than 1,000 points, to surpass the 50,000 level for the first time. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose 1.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) added about 2%, as the indexes rebounded from Thursday’s steep closing losses and a week sales pressure.

The Trump administration has tamed the runaway inflation sparked by Joe Biden – which peaked at a ridiculous 9.1% – and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has stubbornly refused to lower interest rates further. There’s no denying that we all still feel it in our wallets when we go to the grocery store or try to get a loan.
Yet you can feel it in the air: it’s a whole different world than the one in which we suffered during four long years of the Biden administration. The Dow is just one indicator, but it is a key indicator (see: 1929).
The survey says: we are winning.
Editor’s note: Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and bold policies, the U.S. economy is back on track.
