“The Trump administration stands on the cusp of something potentially transformative. If President Donald Trump succeeds in unleashing a new era of energy abundance and securing America’s leadership in artificial intelligence, the economic gains will be profound. Lower energy costs, faster innovation and greater industrial dynamism would provide a powerful tailwind to American productivity and growth. But if the president continues to treat disagreement as disloyalty — especially from vital, independent agencies such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Congressional Budget Office — then Trump’s second term could leave a dark mark on the country.” (08/07/25)
