IMF Apologizes To Trump?
Global economy defies critics as Trump’s tariffs fuel stronger-than-expected recovery
In a stunning rebuke to globalist economists and media naysayers, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has officially raised its global economic growth forecast—thanks in part to President Donald Trump’s bold trade policies.
In its July 2025 World Economic Outlook, the IMF now predicts 3.0% global growth in 2025, an upward revision from its previous 2.8% estimate in April. The 2026 forecast has also improved to 3.1%, signaling continued momentum for the worldwide economy.
✅ KEY POINT: Trump’s America-First trade agenda is boosting global growth, not hurting it—despite what mainstream economists warned.
What’s Driving the Growth? Trump’s Tariffs and a Stronger U.S. Economy
According to the IMF, several key factors are driving the upgraded forecast:
- Stronger-than-expected “frontloading” of imports ahead of U.S. tariff increases
- Lower average U.S. tariff rates than initially projected
- A weaker U.S. dollar, boosting American exports
- Improved financial conditions and fiscal expansion in major economies
The IMF notes that the real impact of U.S. tariffs has been far less damaging than previously assumed. Businesses adjusted quickly, global markets responded positively, and America’s economy remains strong.
Inflation Falling—But America Stays Ahead
Global inflation is also cooling off. The IMF projects 4.2% inflation in 2025, dropping to 3.6% in 2026.
However, the report notes that inflation in the United States remains slightly above target due to strong consumer demand and resilient job growth—two signs of an economy that’s surging under President Trump’s policies.
🏛️ Strong U.S. consumer confidence and a robust manufacturing base are helping keep America at the center of global economic power.
IMF Chief: Trump’s Tariff Pressure Not as Harsh as Expected
IMF Chief Economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas told The Financial Times that the effective tariff rate has been revised down to 17%, compared to 24% in April—a significant easing that has encouraged global investment.
“While 17 is still higher than where we were in January, there’s been some easing of the tariff pressure,” he said, noting that the fear of a trade collapse simply hasn’t materialized.
📈 BOTTOM LINE: Trump’s strategy is working—and the world is adjusting.
U.S., China, and the U.K. All See Upgraded Growth
The IMF also upgraded its growth forecasts for the United States, China, and the United Kingdom. Remarkably, the U.K. is expected to become the third-fastest growing economy among the G7 nations in both 2025 and 2026.
Stability, Sovereignty, and Leadership Matter
In a subtle but clear message, the IMF emphasized the importance of strong national leadership, clear economic messaging, and independent central banks—three pillars often championed by conservatives and exemplified under President Trump’s economic policies.
📢 The IMF stressed the need for prudence and stability in today’s volatile trade environment—principles long promoted by America-first leaders.
🔎 Why This Matters to Older Americans and Retirees
For older Americans living on fixed incomes or nearing retirement, these strong economic trends are encouraging. With inflation slowing down and growth picking up, many can look forward to better returns on savings, more job opportunities for loved ones, and long-term economic stability.
💡 Tip: Economic strength means higher Social Security cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) and greater financial confidence for seniors.
📊 Final Word: Trump’s Economic Vision Is Paying Off
Despite relentless criticism from the mainstream press and global elites, the facts speak for themselves: Trump’s trade and tariff strategy is strengthening not just the U.S., but the entire world economy.
As 2025 progresses, more and more institutions are being forced to admit what many Americans already knew—leadership, strength, and sovereignty work.
