Deep dives
Potential Economic Impact of a Second Trump Term
The discussion highlights that a potential second term for Trump could bring significant changes to the U.S. economy and global markets, primarily through radical policies on trade tariffs, immigration, and Federal Reserve independence. Trump's proposed implementation of a universal baseline tariff of 10% on all imports, along with increased tariffs on China, is viewed as a major escalation in protectionism that may reignite inflation. As economists predict higher inflation and weaker economic growth due to these tariff changes, concerns arise over how this would affect the U.S. economy, valued at around $30 trillion. The combined predictions suggest that these policies could lead to a decrease in GDP, complicate trade relationships, and negatively impact living standards for Americans.
