## Post text

> Stephen Moore: "Mr. President, you gained ten times more income for the average family than Joe Biden…Every income group did better under Trump than Biden — by a wide margin…"

## What the media says

**Video transcript** (4:09), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his:

> And so I called the president because I had some very good news from some new data that we've been able to put together that no one has ever seen before. And I'll just very quickly go through these. So I was telling the president that he did the right thing and calling for a new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because this shows that over the last two years of the Biden administration, the BLS over estimated job creation by 1.5 million jobs. That's a that's a gigantic error. And I don't know if she's I'm not minding been an error. That's bad part. There was an error. It would be one thing. I don't think it's an error. I think they did it purposely. Whether that you may well be right. But even if it wasn't purposefully, it's incompetence. Right. Okay. So 1.5 million jobs over estimated. We have access to the we have access to the some data that no one else does. What has happened? Month by month with median household income. This is based on unpublished Census Bureau data. It will be released sometime in the next six months, but we get an advanced look at it. And so I was telling the president in his first five months in office, starting in January through the end of June, the average median household income adjusted for inflation for the average family in America is already up $1,174. That's that's an incredible number. Just came out. Just just came out. So that's a giant game. And I would have said this. Nobody would have believed there's your there's your number. We're doing well. So the next one compares. We finally have the 2024 data on what happened with real family income in the United States. And so what I did was I compared the record and Donald Trump's first term with the Joe Biden first term. And you can see that by the way, this these dotted lines here, Mr President, that's Cove it. So if it had not been for Cove it, these numbers would have been substantially better. But even taking account President Trump's last year in 2020, we saw a $6400 real after inflation gain and income for the average family. Um, and that compares with with Joe Biden, which was a measly $551. So Mr President, you get you gain 10 times more income for the average family than Joe Biden is because of your policy. And that's taking into consideration Cove it, which a lot of times you don't have to do that. But we were, I'm very glad you do over. No, we were almost 8000 until that number. Yeah. Okay. So, uh, then we looked at, you know, which families did the best. We have data from the Census Bureau that shows by income percentage. So the 25th percentile is the lowest income. 75th percentile is the highest income. What I find fascinating about this, Mr President, is every income group did better. The red is President Trump. The blue is President Biden. Every single income group did better under President Trump. But what's really amazing is look what happened under Biden. The lowest income group lost income under Biden. They were poor four years after President Biden's presidency. No grand virtually whatsoever for the middle class. And the rich was the only group that did better under Biden, which is ironic because Biden keeps saying he was trying to get rid of income inequality. He made income inequality worse, not better. It was President Trump that reduced income inequality. These numbers just came out, by the way. And then finally, um, these are the number system. And I just showed you the percentage terms. Mr President, these are the numbers in dollar terms. So even the lowest income 25th percent gained about $4000 income. That's a lot for a lower income family. $6400 for the middle class and almost 10,000 for the richest. So you can see every income group did better under Trump than Biden by a wide partnership. That's the short.

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-03-22T03:21:29.739Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._

## Analysis: Stephen Moore Economic Quote Post (2025-08-07)

A routine supply-seeking post in which Trump quotes conservative economist Stephen Moore favorably comparing Trump-era economic performance to Biden's. The post follows a common pattern: third-party validation of economic superiority, presented as authoritative endorsement.

### Authorship
Posted at 5:27 PM ET (Trump likely in DC area given recent travel pattern). Business-hours timing, clean formatting, video attachment, and quote-style presentation all suggest aide composition or at minimum aide-assisted posting. The polished quotation format with attribution is characteristic of Scavino-style posts.

### Psychological Function
This is straightforward narcissistic supply-seeking through proxy validation. Rather than making the claim himself, Trump amplifies an authority figure making the claim for him — a common pattern that provides deniability while achieving the same grandiose messaging.

### Rhetorical Techniques
- Appeal to authority (economist with credentials)
- Favorable comparison framing (Trump vs Biden)
- Superlative language ("ten times more")
- Universal quantifier ("every income group")

### Clinical Significance
Low. This is maintenance-level content consistent with baseline patterns of self-aggrandizement through third-party endorsement.

## Fact Verification

| Claim | Verdict | Evidence |
|-------|---------|----------|
| "Trump gained ten times more income for the average family than Biden" | **Mostly False** | Real median household income rose modestly under both administrations. A 'ten times' multiplier is not supported by Census Bureau or BLS data, though Trump's pre-COVID economy did show income gains. |
| "Every income group did better under Trump than Biden by a wide margin" | **Half True** | Pre-COVID, most income groups saw gains under Trump. However, 'by a wide margin' overstates differences, and post-COVID recovery under Biden also showed gains across groups, particularly for lower-income workers. |

Overall Veracity: 35%

## Fact Checks (2)

_The model's verdicts from 2026-03-22._

> Trump gained ten times more income for the average family than Biden

**MOSTLY FALSE**

Real median household income rose modestly under both administrations. A 'ten times' multiplier is not supported by Census Bureau or BLS data, though Trump's pre-COVID economy did show income gains.

Sources: Census Bureau Historical Income Tables; BLS data

> Every income group did better under Trump than Biden by a wide margin

**HALF TRUE**

Pre-COVID, most income groups saw gains under Trump. However, 'by a wide margin' overstates differences, and post-COVID recovery under Biden also showed gains across groups, particularly for lower-income workers.

Sources: Census Bureau; BLS

Overall Veracity: 35%

## That day

_From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._

**Tariff Midnight: A 25-Post Victory Lap Spanning Trade, Military Strikes, and Executive Overreach**

August 7th was a victory-lap day built around the midnight activation of reciprocal tariffs, with Trump celebrating across 25 posts in a sustained grandiose mood. The morning brought rapid-fire executive directives -- a new census excluding undocumented immigrants, a public demand for Intel's CEO to resign, and triumphant framing of strikes on Iran's nuclear program. The only flash of irritation came in response to Wall Street Journal criticism, which he dismissed as pro-China globalism before pivoting to attack federal judges. The day closed with a peace summit announcement and casual golf brags, capping a high-volume but emotionally steady day dominated by celebration and displays of presidential authority.
