Washington, D.C., August 9, 2025 — In a recent panel discussion on Newsmax’s Wake Up America Weekend, Nestpoint Managing Director and Republican strategist John Thomas praised President Trump’s early record, rating his first 200 days in office “a 12 out of 10.”

Thomas argued that Trump’s pace and output have been “incredible,” particularly given the obstacles. “Not only has he achieved such incredible things — working his tail off, everywhere all at once — but he’s doing it all in spite of the mainstream media and Democrats trying to stop him at every turn,” Thomas said.

According to Thomas, Trump has already defied predictions of failure on tariffs and trade deals. “They said tariffs would crush the economy, that he couldn’t strike new trade agreements. But it’s deal after deal, disproportionately favorable to the U.S. We’re already seeing jobs come back.”

Transparency and Accountability

The discussion also touched on Trump’s controversial decision to replace the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after revelations that job creation data had been overestimated by 1.5 million under the Biden administration.

Thomas defended the move, saying it underscored Trump’s seriousness about fair economic data. “The jobs data was cooked in favor of Democrats. The American people deserve transparency and accurate information — and Trump is ensuring that,” he said, adding that decisions like this highlight Trump’s credibility on economic stewardship.

Throughout the exchange, Thomas emphasized Nestpoint’s broader commitment to clarity and accountability in political and economic leadership. His remarks highlighted the firm’s role in shaping conversations on trade, transparency, and governance — demonstrating how Nestpoint provides its clients with the insights needed to navigate shifting U.S. and global policy landscapes.
