On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump reclaimed the presidency with a bold promise of an ‘economic revolution.’ Six months into his term, the global economy is grappling with the consequences of his radical policies, which have created a bifurcated economic landscape. Traditional markets are struggling under the weight of trade wars and uncertainty, while the digital economy is experiencing unprecedented growth. This report delves into the implementation and impact of Trump’s economic agenda, revealing a mixed record of successes, failures, and suspended projects. Key initiatives such as cryptocurrency deregulation and oil production expansion have seen significant victories, while efforts to curb inflation and end the Ukraine war have faltered. The US economy is now characterized by a dual-speed dynamic: the Main Street economy faces stagnation and rising costs, while the speculative digital economy booms. This dichotomy poses significant challenges for policymakers, with the Federal Reserve caught between combating inflation and preventing recession. The long-term implications of Trump’s policies include rising national debt, increased economic inequality, and a shift toward a multipolar global order. As the world adapts to an unpredictable America, the Trump doctrine’s legacy remains uncertain, with the potential for both transformative change and systemic crisis.
