FALSE
What the record shows
US nominal GDP is $32.64 trillion (2026); real GDP growth is 2.2% (Q2 2026, third estimate). Growth is moderate and below 2021-2023 levels (2.9-6.3%).
Superlative claim unsupported by data. Current growth rates are moderate, not exceptional. 2026 growth trails recent years significantly.
