President Donald Trump's economic policies, from steep new tariffs to calling for U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to be fired, are creating a great deal of volatility in the stock market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has plunged more than once, and Americans are increasingly worried about their 401k's and other retirement accounts. Trump, however, insists that his policies will lead to a manufacturing renaissance in the United States and a period of tremendous prosperity. In his April 22 column, the Washington Post's Glenn Kessler fact-checks and debunks some of Trump's claims about the economy.

We're taking in billions and billions of dollars.… We were losing $2 billion a day.… This is the biggest deal ever made. Now we're making $3 billion a day." But according to Kessler, Trump's figures are even more problematic than th
Rolling Stone writer Fortesa Latifi says Redditors are mouning what looks like the permanent loss of family members as Trump 2.0 drowns the national argument in lies and conspiracy. The subreddit r/QAnonCasualties subreddit crawls with alienated family members saying “Dad has gone full nazi,” or “Mom finally contacted me after my late stage cancer diagnosis to screech … about black people.” There are also plenty of entries in the line of “Mom said she’s removing herself from my life.” The QAnon conspiracy claims the U.S. is run by a cabal of “Satanic, pedophilic Democrats who can only be stopped by President Donald Trump.” Originally treated as fringe, the movement gained credibility as more and more Republican politicians began winning elections on QAnon claims. Now that President Donald Trump has fully embraced the movement, r/QAnonCasualties sub redditors are growing “pessimistic and exhausted.” READ MORE: John Roberts owns this nightmare — and he has no one to blame but himself “Five years ago, if you
President Donald Trump continues to insist that his steep new tariffs will lead to a manufacturing renaissance in the United States and an era of widespread prosperity. But Wall Street is not responding favorably to either Trump's tariffs or his call for Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to be fired. Early Tuesday morning, April 22, MSNBC and other major media outlets reported that the Dow Jones Industrial Average was taking yet another nosedive. Moreover, some Wall Street insiders fear that Trump's economic policies could weaken the U.S. dollar. MSNBC's Willie Geist discussed Wall Street's worries with CNBC financial correspondent Dominic Chu on the morning program "Morning Joe," noting the Wall Street Journal headline, "Dow Headed for Worst April Since 1932."

More than five months after President Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris, Democrats are still trying to understand why they lost the election and the Senate majority – and how the party can regroup. These concerns have only increased in the wake of Trump’s sustained activity at the start of his second term. The American public has witnessed a Democratic Party struggling to craft a coherent strategy. Recently, Trump has joined a chorus of people likening the current political period to the Gilded Age – the late 19th-century period known for economic industrialization and wealth inequality. As a political scientist focused on electoral politics, I believe the Gilded Age provides a warning for the Democrats’ current situation, as the party’s internal struggles hampered its ability to wage successful national campaigns. The party period Scholars of U.S. political history often refer to the bulk of the 19th century as the party period due to the degree to which party politics permeated society. Parties fr
