The first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term have included positive developments, most impressively at the border. But the president’s continued abuse of his tariff authorities has created massive unnecessary uncertainty that is undermining the rest of his agenda. It is not too late for Trump to end his tariff hikes and shift gears toward an agenda that builds the new housing, infrastructure, and energy projects that would leave a lasting legacy.

The first 100 days started strongly, with a commonsense agenda that included ramping up energy production, ending the corrupt and divisive diversity, equity, and inclusion practices that his predecessor imposed across the federal government, and, most importantly, ending President Joe Biden’s catch-and-release policies on the southern border.
