Trump promised an economic revival. In his first 100 days, he's falling short.

Main Idea: President Donald Trump’s first 100 days have not delivered the economic revival he promised, and his tariff-heavy approach is now tied to slower growth, market losses, and worries about higher prices.

Key Points:

• Economists say Trump’s trade and spending policies have hurt business confidence and could push the U.S. toward recession.
• Tariffs are raising costs for many companies, and many are expected to pass those costs on to consumers.
• Inflation has eased for now, but voters and consumers still fear prices will rise again later this year.
• Stocks, the dollar, and bond markets have all reacted badly to Trump’s policies, even as the White House points to new investment promises and long-term gains.
