When Donald Trump vowed to put America first at the start of his second presidency, many expected fireworks. But 100 days in, markets are feeling more like a 🎭 Shakespearean drama than a celebration. Exec orders meant to boost growth have instead left Wall Street scratching its head as stocks lag behind global peers.
Here’s the tea: The U.S. was riding high in January as the growth superstar among advanced economies. Fast-forward to today, and investors are asking: Where’s the boom? Critics argue protectionist policies could be backfiring—with one analyst quipping, ‘It’s like ordering takeout but forgetting your wallet.’ 🤷♂️
While supporters praise Trump’s focus on domestic jobs, skeptics warn of long-term trade ripple effects. With tech stocks wobbling and inflation data looming, young professionals and entrepreneurs are watching closely. Will the next 100 days bring stability… or more drama? 🍿
