Episode Details

Today marks 100 days of President Donald Trump's second term, and the economic fallout is already unfolding. He meets with House Speaker Mike Johnson today as Congress returns, but the backdrop is alarming: new tariffs, rising prices, and markets rattled by uncertainty.

The International Monetary Fund has cut America's growth forecast. Consumer sentiment is hovering near historic lows. Despite promises to restore affordability, Trump's aggressive trade policies have wiped trillions off the stock market and triggered warnings from major CEOs, including Walmart’s Doug McMillon.

This moment is bigger than politics. It’s about whether one president’s unilateral economic overhaul could tip the U.S. — and the world — into a preventable recession.

Trump calls it economic independence. Economists call it a high-risk gamble that American families are paying for. Consumer confidence just hit its fourth-lowest level since 1952. That’s the backdrop as President Trump marks 100 days back in the White House.
