Part 1/5:
The Economic Outlook Under President Trump
Inheriting the World's Leading Economy
The President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, is set to inherit the world's leading economy. Americans have given him an "unprecedented and powerful mandate" through the election. On the campaign trail, Trump offered many ideas for the future, including plans to have other countries "pay us back for all that we've done for the world" and to "drill, baby, drill."
Discretion and Influence
In reality, President Trump will have quite a great deal of discretion on how he acts, especially with a Republican Congress. However, this is not just a "magic wish list of everything that Trump wants." The incoming administration will have to navigate a complex economic landscape.
