What Donald Trump presented was an account of broken and kept promises, accompanied by a vision for the future explaining why the country's economy is on the verge of something bigger. The US President's recent speech, focused on the economy and fighting inflation, was not a theatrical performance aimed at analysts, nor an achievement report seeking applause on social media. After nearly a year in office, Trump announced that inflation has been curbed, wages are rising, prices are falling, the borders are more secure, and the United States has regained its strength and respect. It was, simply put, a state of the nation report for a country about which it had been repeatedly claimed that recovery was impossible, decline was inevitable, and recession was the new normal.
