Trump’s Economic Policies Show Warning Signs as Growth Slows
President Donald Trump's promised economic 'golden age' faces scrutiny as key indicators weaken. Job gains are dwindling, inflation is rising, and growth has slowed compared to last year. More than six months into his term, his tariff hikes, tax reforms, and spending bills have reshaped trade, manufacturing, and energy sectors—yet the anticipated boom remains elusive.
Trump's tendency to claim credit for economic wins while deflecting blame for downturns is under pressure. With fading opportunities to pin challenges on his predecessor, Joe Biden, the president now faces direct accountability. A bleak jobs report prompted TRUMP to dismiss the head of the agency responsible for the data, alleging political manipulation without evidence.
