Get ready to see @NICKIMINAJ, @GrantCardone, @jgebbia, and @Deancain take the stage for SBA's MILLION DOLLAR PITCH COMPETITION alongside our five amazing finalists. May the best small business owner win!

Key findings from the @USChamber Q3 Small Business Optimism Survey that you won’t find reported in the MSM: ✅ 71% of small businesses say their business is in good health ✅ 62% of small businesses expect higher revenue in the coming year ✅ Overall confidence is just shy of its all-time record Small businesses are heading into the final quarter of the year with strong confidence and real momentum.

This Administration has a very simple, very common-sense conviction when it comes to fraud. Stealing from honest taxpayers, including small businesses, MUST come with real consequences and real jail time.

For 250 years, American workers have been the driving force behind our Nation’s strength & industrial might. On National Manufacturing Day, we honor the men & women who make, build, & create in America — & we celebrate the extraordinary COMEBACK of American manufacturing. 🇺🇸

Socialism is fundamentally at odds with private ownership, free enterprise, and the American Dream. It punishes hard work, penalizes success, and replaces individual freedom with government control. Small businesses and socialism cannot coexist. ⬇️ whitehouse.gov/socialism/

After forty years of weak trade policies that shipped American jobs and industries overseas, @POTUS has brought them back with a common-sense agenda that puts American workers and production power FIRST. Thanks to fair trade and targeted tax cuts, we have secured more than $20 trillion in commitments from companies choosing to invest in the United States. Manufacturing activity has expanded for 9 straight months, and the economy has added 72,000 manufacturing jobs since January. I see it every day as I travel the country meeting with small businesses, who make up 98% of our nation’s manufacturers. From defense and energy to aerospace and semiconductors, President Trump is rebuilding the industrial dominance that made America the most powerful nation in the world. This National Manufacturing Day, not only are we celebrating the workers, builders, and innovators who keep our country strong – we are celebrating the historic comeback of MADE IN AMERICA.

ShaloTek is one of the winners of SBA’s Critical Suppliers Prize Competition. Today, in Statesboro, I saw firsthand the job creation power - and the talent, expertise and commitment - of small manufacturers in rural communities. The Trump SBA is proud to back the builders within our critical supply chains across technology, aerospace and defense. 🇺🇸

Texas employers now have more flexibility in how they support their workforce with health coverage. CHOICE Arrangements give businesses another option for providing health benefits — allowing employers to help pay for individual health coverage that employees choose based on their own needs and preferences. Great to join @SBA_Kelly in Austin to highlight this new approach and hear directly from Texas employers and workers.

Thanks to the Blue Ops team for welcoming me to their South Georgia manufacturing plant. This is what’s possible with an Administration that allows builders to build: the company recently announced it is bringing over 200 new jobs to Valdosta to supercharge production of world-class uncrewed surface vessels for our warfighters. President Trump is bringing American shipbuilding back — and with it, a new era of jobs and opportunity for our rural communities. 🇺🇸

Congratulations on your confirmation @Sonderling47! From workforce expos to small business roundtables across the country, I’ve seen firsthand your passion for America’s workers and job creators. As historic new business formation drives job growth across our country, Main Street needs skilled workers more than ever. I look forward to continuing our work to connect Americans with good-paying jobs and ensure our small businesses have the talent they need to grow.

MAHA 🤝 Main Street So proud to spotlight local businesses, especially when they’re serving up REAL FOOD for American families!

Big morning in TX! Great to be with @DrOzCMS in Austin to continue our dialogue with small businesses about CHOICE Arrangements. The Trump Admin is delivering more flexible and affordable health insurance options for Main Street job creators. There are more than 7 million open jobs in America today. By empowering employers to offer better coverage, we’re helping small businesses fill good-paying jobs with the benefits American workers and their families deserve.

Saint Michael Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. Happy Michaelmas!

Exciting to speak with @DinaPowellMcC at the America.gov launch about the golden era of small business. America First is driving more opportunity and shattering new business formation records. With super intelligence tools like those from @Meta and others, it has never been easier for entrepreneurs to turn an idea into a business, reach new customers, and grow.

Through America.gov, President Trump is delivering a bold new front door to the federal government—using super intelligence to cut through bureaucracy and make Washington work FOR the American people. Congratulations @JGebbia and @NDStudio, and thank you for bringing the federal government into the 21st century!

HUGE news. President Trump’s fair trade agenda is bringing back American jobs – and the industries that made us the world’s foremost superpower. The era of managed decline is over. wsj.com/politics/trump-to-un…

Attention America’s Manufacturers and Innovators 🚨 The International Trade Administration has put together a Manufacturing Incentives Overview that lists dozens of state and federal programs designed to help onshore industries and expand production. Read More Here: trade.gov/sites/default/file…

Over the last six months, the SBA has partnered with @DOJFraudDiv and @WHFraudTF to pursue fraud that went unaddressed for years - exposing billions of dollars in suspected fraud, referring billions more for collection, and securing dozens of guilty pleas and indictments. Fighting fraud must be a permanent function of the federal government.

A huge honor for Jeff and me to join @POTUS and @FLOTUS at this week’s beautiful White House State Dinner, capping a historic visit that showcased American strength and exceptionalism. There is no substitute for American leadership. Thanks to President Trump, the greatest nation on earth is once again leading the world. 🇺🇸

America became a superpower—and won the wars that secured freedom around the world—because American workers and businesses could innovate, produce, and outbuild any adversary. Restoring that strength is central to the SBA’s work. Together with @DeptofWar and private-sector partners, we are empowering the small businesses and manufacturers that will power America’s next era of strength.

America went from an Administration that failed to investigate, prosecute, or prevent fraud to one that has uncovered more than $260 BILLION in fraud so far. Thank you, @VP and @WHFraudTF!
