President Donald Trump’s second‑term agenda promises dramatic shifts in U.S. economic policy.
Mainstream economists warn consumers will feel a squeeze from rising prices,
while businesses face a supply‑constrained environment that slows hiring.
The danger isn’t an immediate collapse, but a steady buildup of inflation,
structural inefficiencies, and mounting debt—conditions that could tip the country toward stagflation or even a “Trumpcession.”
Tariffs could cost households thousands more per year, while mass deportations would shrink the labor force and raise costs in critical industries. Meanwhile, Trump’s tax and spending proposals are projected to add trillions to the national debt, driving up interest rates and straining both federal and local budgets.
The risks to everyday Americans—and to the broader economy—are real. The road ahead may be marked by higher costs, fewer jobs, and greater instability.
