White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller praised the Trump administration’s first 11 months in office during a December 24, 2025, Fox News interview, declaring: “The last 11 months have been the most successful 11 months in the history of the American presidency.”

Miller highlighted the initial Q3 2025 GDP estimate of 4.3% annualized growth—surpassing expectations—as evidence of economic strength, pointing to rebounding exports and lower energy prices. He described the U.S. as reemerging as a “technology superpower, a manufacturing superpower, and… a military superpower,” crediting administration policies for advances in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, advanced manufacturing, and reshoring semiconductor production.

The remarks build on ongoing White House efforts to emphasize domestic tech priorities (e.g., AI and quantum in FY2027 R&D guidance) and continuation of incentives under the CHIPS and Science Act. Gas prices averaged below $3 per gallon nationally in December 2025, the lowest holiday season levels in years.

Miller also touted immigration enforcement, crime reductions, and military investments in the interview. Economists note Q3 growth was led by consumer spending, with trade contributions tied partly to tariff-induced fluctuations. Projections for 2026 suggest potential moderation amid policy uncertainty.
