President Donald Trump has been moving quickly and aggressively to reshape American social and political norms, the economy, and the US role in the world. His actions have included firing thousands of federal employees, imposing new tariffs, facing legal challenges, and eroding the authority of Congress. These moves have far-reaching implications for federal employees and could drive up the unemployment rate. The administration is also facing numerous lawsuits challenging its policies, and the court system has become a battleground for pushback. Additionally, the latest economic data shows signs of inflation and a weakening in consumer confidence and economic growth. Trump's approach to trade, including tariffs and taxes, is being criticized by other nations. Despite the erosion of Congress's authority, there are signs of pushback from both Republicans and Democrats. Trump is also seeking a new world order by initiating negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
