Van Jones detailed how Democrats tricked the American people leading up to the midterms

Yes, things were rough. But what they didn’t tell you is that an economic boom was emerging.

As Victor Davis Hanson explained on my show last week, 165,000 new jobs were just announced. The poverty rate is at an all-time low at 10.2%. The per capita family income is $87,000, a new record. The GDP was just revised at 3.4, and the Atlanta Fed said it’ll be 5 by the end of the year.

The stock market was also 20,000 points higher and income was $14,000 higher than it was during the 2022 midterms when Biden stopped the red wave. During that election, inflation was at a record of 9.1% and gas prices were about the same as they are now.

Van Jones just ADMITTED exactly how the Democrats tricked the American people leading up to the midterms. The Democrats needed you to believe that the economy under Trump was historically terrible. So they screamed “affordability” as often as they could. Yes, things were rough. But what they didn’t tell you is that an economic boom was emerging. As @VDHanson explained on my show last week, 165,000 new jobs were just announced. The poverty rate is at an all-time low at 10.2%. The per capita family income is $87,000, a new record. The GDP was just revised at 3.4, and the Atlanta Fed said it’ll be 5 by the end of the year. The stock market was also 20,000 points higher and income was $14,000 higher than it was during the 2022 midterms when Biden stopped the red wave. During that election, inflation was at a record of 9.1% and gas prices were about the same as they are now. That’s the honest truth: Looking at the metrics, Trump’s 2026 economy is BETTER or THE SAME as in 2022 under Biden. But in 2022, the media didn’t focus on the economy. They insisted Biden did a great job getting us out of the COVID era and the high gas prices due to the Ukraine war were worth it. This time around, Van Jones bragged on CNN that a secret operation called the “American Accountability Network” coordinated tens of thousands of real people to blast hundreds of millions of targeted posts across social media to con the American people into believing the economy was in total ruin. And he wanted CNN viewers to know that they shouldn’t be worried: he was “given permission” to reveal this secret weapon! Um, BY WHO? Who told him that it’s okay to reveal and brag about how the Democrats lied to the American people?
