Trump's Economic Agenda for a Second Term

Donald Trump begins his second presidential term with an agenda that emphasizes economic disruption and a focus on revitalizing the economy. His approach is centered around three key concepts: taxes, tariffs, and 'truth posts'—a nod to his social media presence. Trump's plan includes extending tax cuts initiated during his first term, significantly reducing corporate tax rates, and possibly reinstating the SALT deductions to benefit wealthy homeowners. Additionally, he intends to escalate the trade war with China through high tariffs, which he believes will leverage economic negotiations, although its real impact on job creation remains questionable.
