Recent polls indicate that 46% of Americans believe that former President Donald Trump’s policies would benefit the economy if he were to return to office. This statistic highlights a significant portion of the public’s perception of Trump’s economic impact. During his presidency, Trump implemented tax cuts, deregulation, and trade policies aimed at boosting economic growth. His administration’s tax reform in 2017 reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, which was intended to spur business investment. Additionally, Trump’s tenure saw the addition of 6.7 million jobs before the onset of the global health crisis. However, his approach to trade, particularly with China, led to a trade war that affected various sectors of the economy. Public opinion on these policies remains divided, with some crediting them for economic prosperity and others criticizing the long-term effects on national debt and income inequality.
