‘Americans await economic changes with Trump’ – Paper Talk USA 

Ongoing speculation over what a Donald Trump second term in office might look like continues to fill up the front pages of the US newspapers. Several front splashes look at how Trump’s tariff plans could come into effect and other economic changes that could be ushered in under the soon-to-be president. 

Away from domestic politics, the US front pages mark Veterans Day as countless tributes fill the splashes to commemorate the war dead. 

‘Economist warn Trump’s plan likely to worsen inflation,’ writes The Medina-Gazette.

The Medina-Gazette reports Trump vowed to topple many of Biden’s economic policies, impose huge tariffs on foreign goods, slash taxes on individuals and businesses and deport undocumented migrants. The paper notes many economists have warned that Trump’s plans are likely to worsen the inflation he’s vowed to eradicate, drive up the federal debt and eventually slow growth.

‘Trump promises to topple Bidne’s economic policies,’ says The Oregonian.

The Oregonian reports ‘Fed up Americans’ are eagerly awaiting Donald Trump’s second term as they continue to suffer with high prices and are unimpressed with an economy “that by just about any measure is a healthy one.” The paper says when they voted they demanded change.

‘US isn’t feared enough overseas,’ says The Washington Post. 

The Washington Post says advisers are suggesting the United States isn’t feared overseas under Biden’s leadership. They say showcasing American economic and military might, a Trump second term should bring peace “or at minimum, prevent further escalation in Ukraine, the Middle East and beyond,” they claim. 

‘Republicans on course to control all three centres of power,’ reports USA Today. 

USA Today reports on what the country should expect if the Republican Party runs Congress (they’ve already won the presidency and Senate and look on course to control the House). The paper says if they have control of all three power centres you should expect “swift appointments of Trump’s Cabinet choices to major changes in policy, Republicans in Congress are likely to use their leverage to advance Trump’s priorities and could face few roadblocks from the Democratic minority.” 

‘Support growing for Trump is traditional deep-blue states,’ says The Garden Island

The Garden Island reports that Trump’s popularity is growing in Hawaii “, just like it did this year in other politically deep-blue states from California to New York.” Just like in California and New York, Trump has never won in Hawaii but has seen his popularity among isle voters consistently rise, writes the paper.

‘Trump targets offshore wind projects,’ says The Day. 

The Day says Donald Trump railed against offshore wind and promised to sign an executive order to block such projects. The paper says opponents of offshore wind energy projects expect President-elect Donald Trump to kill an industry he has vowed to end on the first day he returns to the White House. But it might not be that easy, the paper argues.
