The US economy continued to roar to life in the second quarter of 2018 with GDP growth topping a whopping 4.1%; signaling a robust recovery under President Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress.
According to CNBC, Gross Domestic Product posted its largest gains in over four years on the back of strong consumer confidence and record-breaking business growth and optimism following the Republican-sponsored tax cuts.
“That’s the fastest rate of the growth since the 4.9 percent in the third quarter of 2014 and the third-best growth rate since the Great Recession. In addition to the strong second quarter, the Commerce Department revised its first-quarter reading up from 2 percent to 2.2 percent,” writes CNBC.
“We’re on track to hit the highest annual growth rate in over 13 years,” said the President. “And I will say this right now and I will say it strongly, as the deals come in one by one, we’re going to go a lot higher than these numbers, and these are great numbers.”
