Here’s what Mr. Trump has said so far and how it stacks up against the facts. It is because more people than ever live in the United States. President Trump said the American economy is considered “far and away the hottest economy anywhere in the world.”This is false. The American economy expanded at an annual rate of 3.5 percent in the third quarter of 2018, the most recent available data. And while the American economy has been growing during Mr. Trump’s presidency, it is a continuation of the trend since June 2009.
