U.S. Economy Shows Resilience Amid Shocks but Growth Remains Limited in Trump’s Second Term
The first 18 months of President Donald Trump's second term have involved economic shocks from immigration restrictions, higher tariffs, and an unexpected war with Iran, which raised oil prices and disrupted supply chains. Despite these challenges, the U.S. economy has shown resilience, though promised gains in factory jobs, lower prices, and middle-class improvements have not materialized. Employment data reflects declines linked to immigration policies and demographic changes, while disposable incomes and housing affordability remain concerns ahead of upcoming midterm elections.
