‘Greatest President in History’: Trump Trumpets Arthur Laffer’s Stunning Endorsement

President Donald Trump seized on praise from conservative economist Arthur Laffer on Thursday, using the moment to defend his embattled economic agenda and claim victory on tariffs as new polling shows growing voter anxiety over affordability.

In a Truth Social post, Trump celebrated comments reportedly made by Laffer — a longtime Republican economic adviser best known for shaping Ronald Reagan’s tax policies — during a recent speech.

According to Trump, Laffer declared him “the greatest President in history, bar none,” a line the president quickly amplified to his millions of followers.

Calling the endorsement “such an honor coming from a man of such wisdom,” Trump used the moment to reinforce his argument that his tariff-heavy economic program is revitalizing the nation.

Trump claimed Laffer also praised his trade policies, quoting him as saying, “Tariffs are working in a big way.”

The president added, “Our Country is rich and admired again!” despite continued public concern over rising costs and the economic strain facing American families.

Laffer, a vocal Trump ally since his first term, has repeatedly defended Trump’s tariff strategy, even as independent economists warn that the trade policies have raised consumer prices and strained supply chains.

Trump’s post comes as his administration mounts a new messaging blitz to reverse sliding economic approval ratings. Recent national surveys show that many Americans blame Trump’s tariffs for higher prices — a narrative the president has aggressively rejected as a “scam” pushed by Democrats.

The White House has not released an official transcript or recording of Laffer’s full remarks, and it remains unclear in what context the economist delivered the statements Trump quoted.

Still, the president seized on the moment as evidence that his approach is working, even as his critics — and some within his own party — argue that his policies are worsening affordability challenges for millions of households.
