In the wake of Donald Trump’s return to the presidency in 2024, his initial 100 days have been characterized by heightened economic uncertainty rather than the promised recovery. Despite voter confidence in his economic plans versus Vice President Kamala Harris, the U.S. faces recession risks up to 60% and stagnant inflation rates. Trump’s controversial tariffs have sparked unrest in various sectors. An overarching 10% tariff on imports could increase grocery costs significantly, while the housing market remains sluggish despite declining mortgage rates.
Retail sales continue to thrive, with unemployment steady at 4.2%. However, stock market performance has faltered, with the S&P 500 down 8% since Trump’s inauguration. During a recent rally, Trump claimed his tenure’s first 100 days were the “most successful” in history, although many Americans experience continuous economic turbulence.
Another pressing issue is the Supreme Court’s deliberation on Oklahoma’s first religious public charter school, St. Isidore of Seville. The case examines whether such schools can participate in state charter programs. Proponents argue barring religious schools would violate the Free Exercise Clause, while opponents claim they should not receive public funding due to the Establishment Clause implications. A ruling could have significant consequences nationwide.
Moreover, the plight of Mohammad, an Afghan who assisted U.S. forces, highlights immigration challenges. Following his chaotic journey to the U.S. amidst Taliban threats, his status remains precarious as the Trump administration seeks to revoke protections for certain migrants. Advocates worry for his safety, fearing potential deportation back to Afghanistan, where he faces grave threats.
