Over the weekend, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds (R) attended Revolt World 2024. At the event, he took part in a discussion moderated by Tezlyn Figaro wherein he discussed the economic state of the United States ahead of the presidential election. Not one to shy from criticizing the current Biden-Harris Administration, Rep. Donalds affirmed that on November 5th voters “will Make America Wealthy Again.”
The Florida Republican has been hard at work on the campaign trail, campaigning for President Trump and urging voters to consider the financial situation they are in. The question’s been asked time and time again, “are you better off now than you were four years ago?”
Some would argue they are, but Rep. Donalds begs to differ.
The Trump campaign also disagrees, and in an email sent to supporters, the campaign highlighted several reasons why Americans aren’t better off than they were four years ago.
According to the Trump campaign, “the nationwide average for regular gas never rose above $3/gallon.” When it came to household incomes, under President Donald Trump (R), “Americans saw a 10.5% boost in median household income.” Finally, “real average weekly earnings increased 8.2%” under President Trump among other financial benefits.
According to the Congressional Joint Economic Committee, the 7 battleground states are facing crippling inflation, which results in 21.7% inflation in both Georgia and North Carolina, 22.1% in both Arizona and Nevada, and 20.5% in both Michigan and Wisconsin, and 18.9% in Pennsylvania.

During the discussion over the weekend, which also included former U.S. Senate candidate Gary Chambers, Jr. (D), Rep. Donalds made his case for why President Trump will "Make America Wealthy Again."
"When he was president, the economy worked. We oughta be honest with the facts," Rep. Donalds commented. "When he [President Trump] was president of the United States, our inflation rate was basically 2% throughout the entire time. Wages, adjust for inflation were rising, and that's the measure that really matters," he added.
Under Trump, inflation was low.
Under Trump, wages were outpacing inflation.
Under Trump, you had more money in your pocket.
Under Trump, Black unemployment hit historic lows.
Under Trump, our economy was growing across the board and our economy was working for ALL AMERICANS. pic.twitter.com/15xSmngWbg
