“$25,000,000,000,000 in wealth created in a short of time. It's not even two years”

What the record shows
Federal Reserve Z.1 reports household net worth rose approximately $26.5 trillion from Q4 2024 to Q2 2026, primarily from equity appreciation and real estate revaluation, not new wealth creation.
Figure is close to Fed data on net worth changes, but 'wealth created' conflates asset appreciation with actual economic production. Timeframe and definition are imprecise.
