Stanley Druckenmiller: "The economy looks very, very strong" (2025)

The economy's very interesting.  We're at a very low unemployment rate, 4% essentially, we've got 3% GDP growth and I've been doing this for 49 years and we're probably going from the most anti business administration to the opposite.  We do a lot talking to CEOs and companies on the ground and I'd say CEOs are somewhere between relieved and giddy.

We're a big believer in animal spirits.  Paul Ryan was on your show last week talking about a 32% increase in business confidence over the last 12 months.  I think that's probably a record in terms of chain.  So the economy looks very, very strong at least for the next six months, which is about as far out as one can see with any degree of confidence.
