  • The gigantic national debt is finally starting to spook financial markets. That could hamstring Trump's economic agenda.

The article from AOL Finance discusses the economic challenges facing former President Donald Trump's economic plans should he return to office. It highlights that Trump's proposals, which include extending tax cuts from 2017, imposing new tariffs, and reducing regulations, would encounter a significantly different economic landscape than during his first term. Key points include the current high inflation rates, a tight labor market, and the Federal Reserve's efforts to manage economic growth through interest rate adjustments. The article notes skepticism from economists about the feasibility of these plans without exacerbating inflation or causing economic instability. Additionally, it mentions the potential for increased trade tensions due to proposed tariffs, which could lead to retaliatory measures from other countries, affecting global trade dynamics. The piece also touches on the political and legislative hurdles Trump would face in implementing these policies, given the divided Congress and the need for bipartisan support for significant economic legislation.
