- Trump argued that the U.S. economy is constrained by policies that suppress growth when economic conditions improve, calling this a 'false reality.'
- Trump contends that economic growth does not cause inflation and believes the U.S. should achieve GDP growth rates of 15-20% instead of current 2-4% levels.
- Trump asserted the U.S. should maintain the world's lowest interest rates because the country drives global economic development.
- Trump calculated that each 1 percentage point increase in interest rates costs the U.S. approximately $650 billion annually and argued lower rates would reduce debt burden.
President Trump posted on Truth Social that despite positive employment data, stock markets fell due to persistent 'inflation fears.' He argued the U.S. economy operates under a flawed policy framework that suppresses growth when economic conditions improve, describing this as a 'false reality.'
Trump challenged the conventional economic theory linking growth to inflation, stating 'Growth does not cause inflation.' He contended that under current economic policies, the U.S. cannot achieve the prosperity it deserves, arguing the nation should target GDP growth rates of 15-20% rather than the current 2-4%.
Trump further advocated that the U.S. should maintain the world's lowest interest rates, reasoning that as the driver of global economic development, lower rates would benefit other nations. He quantified the interest rate burden, stating each 1 percentage point increase costs approximately $650 billion annually, and argued that reducing interest rates would help alleviate the national debt burden.
特朗普：经济增长不会导致通胀，美国应拥有全球最低利率
特朗普在Truth Social发文称，尽管就业数据良好，股市仍然下跌，原因是投资者持久的'通胀恐惧'心理。他主张美国经济在政策框架下存在缺陷，当经济改善时反而被压制，将其描述为'虚假现实'。
特朗普质疑将经济增长与通胀挂钩的传统经济学理论，声称'经济增长不会导致通胀'。他辩称在当前经济政策下，美国无法实现应有的繁荣，主张国家应瞄准15-20%的GDP增速，而非目前的2-4%。
特朗普进一步主张美国应维持全球最低利率，理由是作为全球经济发展的推动者，较低利率将惠及其他国家。他量化了利率负担，称每提高1个百分点利率年均成本约6500亿美元，并主张降低利率有助于缓解国债负担。
