Concern is growing over President Donald Trump's economic policies, marked by tariffs, government layoffs, and spending freezes. These actions might be more damaging to the U.S. economy than beneficial, despite a steady labor market and commitments from corporations like Apple and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.

However, the recent spike in part-time employment and job losses in sectors like leisure and hospitality reflect broader anxieties. Despite federal payroll cuts potentially warning of economic downturns, Trump remains optimistic, suggesting that these disruptions will lead to stronger domestic industry and growth.

While the White House highlights manufacturing job creation, experts caution that tariffs could provoke inflation and stifle economic progress. As the threat of a trade war looms, economic indicators show increased uncertainty, raising fears of another recession.
