As America reflects on defining moments of prosperity, we often look back at what some now call the “Golden Age” under President Trump’s leadership. This term, historically linked to eras of cultural, economic, and social flourishing, aptly describes a time in recent years marked by record-breaking economic success, growth in job opportunities, and the re-establishment of America’s energy independence.

Economic Resilience and Optimism: A Legacy of Growth

The Trump administration’s approach led to growth that not only enhanced individual wealth but also fostered unprecedented small business optimism and job creation. The administration’s tax reforms resulted in record tax revenues, and the Small Business Optimism Index surged to its highest levels in history.

In recent polling, Americans across demographics reflect on the policies that spurred broad prosperity, with 65% of voters expressing that the current administration is not on the right track.

Notation by Commissioner Mentz - "If issues like crime, immigration, inflation, education, and the economy had not become major failues and challenges over the past four years under Biden, the New York Gazette would have given serious consideration to supporting RFK Jr. or other Democratic candidates. However, the reality of rising crime rates, unchecked border issues, skyrocketing costs of living, and declining educational standards has compelled us to endorse a leader with a proven track record of addressing these pressing concerns. With so much at stake, we believe it is essential to support a candidate who has shown a commitment to stabilizing the economy, reinforcing national security, and advocating for policies that directly benefit American families and communities."
