100 Days of Turmoil: Trump’s Resurgence Feels Like an Uninvited Sequel

Donald Trump's return to the White House has sparked a notable rise in consumer costs, widespread protests, and intensifying legal and political complications within his first 100 days.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis notes that import duties soared to $96.3 billion in Q1 2025, reflecting a 17% increase from the previous year.
