The 2016 presidential election was one of the most divisive elections in the modern era with President Donald Trump promising economic reforms in the country during his presidential campaigns. Walker notes that two of the economic pledges of President Trump that would benefit the country are reduction in taxes and implementation of economic stimulus programs. Mirhaydari notes that people who relied on Obamacare for insurance may suffer as they try to get alternative health covers for themselves and their families. However, Rogoff believes that the presidency of Donald Trump will lead to an economic boom. He believes that the slow economic growth that United States has been experiencing will be fixed by Trump.
The direction that the economy is going is positive despite it being too slow. Verdi warns that the presidency of Donald Trumps will find it hard to fix the causes of slow economic growth. Bryan on the other hand believes that the election of Donald Trump as the president of the United States caused fluctuations in the market, a suggestion that is against what Mirhaydari reports in his article. the consensus is however clear that most of the journalists and economic commentators believe Trump is able to change the economy for the better.
Clearly, the economy of United States is growing but at a slow rate and if the policies suggested by Trump are implemented, the economy will be better. One concern that most of the economists and even die-hard Trump supporters have is the possibility of the country picking economic fights with other countries such as China. It seems most of the articles I reviewed were made by people who believe Trump is making America great again.
