– Rwanda's real GDP grew by 8.9% in 2024, surpassing the previous year's growth rate of 8.2%. The latest edition of the Rwanda Economic Update (REU), launched today by the World Bank, highlights that Rwanda has exhibited strong resilience amidst global uncertainties, driven by robust private...

Irrelevant.
Without even going into the differences all that needs to be said is that Trump is moving things in the right direction and it will continue to improve.

He talks about the nation, and you think you're refuting him by singling out DC. Is this deliberate cheery picking, or are you so obsessed and infatuated with federal overreach that you think Washington is the nation?

LOL

The left does it all over the nation, DC is just a recent example.
It's been in the news a few times when leftist jurisdictions just stopped reporting their stats to the FBI entirely.

Doesn't mean that DC data holds true nationwide. And intelligent commenters acknowledge this, and admit that an example is just an example.

Only propagandists pretend like any convenient sample proves their rule.

I see no particularly compelling reason to think that the motivated and deliberate underreporting & undercharging of violent crimes is somehow isolated to D.C. (In fact, that sort of thing is widespread enough that police even have a "term of art" for it: they call it "juking the stats".)

Among the variety of techniques they use to downplay crimes (especially violent crimes) is to discourage victims from filing reports, and to undercharge perpetrators when they are caught. Both of those techniques were employed to downplay the rash of random women being randomly punched in NYC last year (see, for example, @9:35-11:15 in the video quoted below).

Given the explicitly soft-on-crime social policies of the progressive left - "defund the police", bail "reform", minimizing or eliminating jail time or prison sentences (even for violent offenders), etc. - I'd be amazed if they weren't doing it in most "blue" venues (i.e., almost all large cities) to one degree or another.

Excellent news.

Perhaps more of the African diaspora will be encouraged to "come home".

Here's how it works.

Prices are still going up. But they're not going up at the breakneck pace they were ~3 years ago. So prices aren't down. And they're not going to go down. But the rate of inflation, i.e. the speed at which prices keep going up, is down in comparison to the worst case scenario that they're comparing it to.

New GDP number is great news, but it is just one of 12 in yr. Inflation number entirely different. No real idea if it is even fairly accurate . I can tell you from yr 2000 to 2024 inflation was reported around 2 or 3 percentabout 88 percent of time and we know new ome prices averaged an increase of 6.67 percent per yr and money supply increased avg of about 8 percent so inflation was, 7 percent say. Also we know every job number given by biden admin was false. I also know price of coffee doubled in a period of about a mont in 2025 so it probably isnt in calcualations. Overall US GDP dismal at 1.9 percent avg 2000 - 2024 and in 2025 CBO predicted avg of 1.8 for next decade. US will be toast in debt , debt interest , devalued dollar if we go 35 yrs at about 1.875 GDP avg. Debt predictions all add moe tan 1.1 trillion per yr and I still guess it could get to 1.9. Also , I still expect inflation to be up Aug - Dec in 2025. Maybe we can get some real GDP to go w/ it for a cange. Time will tell. At point currently it does not appear any great economic minds at Fed so good is tuff to come by
