Just for the record: Larry Kudlow is not a professional economist or political analyst. And if you bothered to see his video before reading my response to it, he makes it obvious that he's not an economist or political analyst.
Mr. Kudlow claimed that America has created 500K since Donald Trump became President. Well let's say minus January, since DJT was only President for the last 2 weeks of that month, that's 125K month. But you subtract 59K jobs from the public sector, it's more like 440K in a little over 16 weeks. In 2024 alone, we created 2.2 million jobs. That's around 180K(give or take) per month under President Biden in his last year. Which was a bad year for him politically, as well as the Democratic Party, but a good year for the American economy.
Mr. Kudlow also claimed we now have the lowest inflation rate in the last 9 months. The inflation level for May, 2025, was 2.4%, 2.4% in August and September of 2024. Mr. Kudlow might think his audience is primarily just a bunch of drunken idiots, or meth-heads (I guess you could be both) who don't know the difference between the national debt and budget deficit. But from time to time, there are people who watch his videos, who are sober and know at least something about economics.
So if you think about it and look at the job numbers, the growth numbers, look at inflation: job and economic growth is down today, from where it was in all of 24. And inflation is the same. And you can say that the Trump tariffs are the reason for that. But you won’t hear that from anyone who is paid to kiss Donald John Trump’s feet every night and day on TV.
According to Wikipedia about Larry Kudlow:
"He graduated from the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York, with a bachelor's degree in history in 1969.[8] Although his academic qualifications and credentials pertaining to economics have been called into question as he completed only an undergraduate degree with a major in history (aside from his foreign policy coursework at Princeton), Kudlow claims that the particular history curriculum that he completed at Rochester dealt heavily with economic themes, especially pertinent to trade policy.[5][9]
In 1971, Kudlow enrolled in the master's program at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, but he left before completing his degree."
From Wikipedia
Like a lot of other people and things that Donald John Trump has touched right before they died, (to paraphrase Rick Wilson) Larry Kudlow before Donald Trump took over the Republican Party and turned it into the MAGA Party... was a neoconservative, supply-side, business oriented and economics oriented, Northeast, country club, Republican and political commentator. But now he acts like Donald John Trump is God himself and backs everything that he does and goes out-of-his-way to make it 100% that he always backs The Don 100% of the time, regardless of what the President is doing and saying.
The President could call for nationalizing private universities and banks because he doesn't like their politics and Kudlow would claim: "The President is standing up for real Americans".
I would love to know who kidnapped Larry Kudlow and who they got to replace him. The guy on FOX Business looks like Kudlow, but he sure as hell no longer sounds like him.
