Trump’s Promised Golden Age: Who Benefits?
Upon his return to office, President Trump initially proclaimed the immediate arrival of a “golden age” for America, a claim seemingly adjusted later to a timeline of six months to a year. Despite promises of rapid improvements in jobs and prices, the economy has faced challenges in 2025. Job growth has stalled, and unemployment has risen, while inflation remains persistent, contrasting with the president’s assertions of economic success. The administration has implemented significant tariff hikes, which economists warn could lead to higher prices for Americans.
