Trump's Early Stumbles
Briefly

President Trump's potential roadblocks to a successful second term appear rooted in his own unpredictability and lack of discipline. Recent policy announcements, including threatened tariffs and an ambitious plan for Gaza, were met with skepticism and resulted in retractions, reminiscent of the chaos that characterized his first term. While such grand statements could distract opposition, they also risk diminishing his administration's credibility and focus on achieving substantial goals like tax reform and immigration control. This chaotic start may complicate efforts to enact his ambitious policy agenda.
The biggest impediment to a successful second term for President Trump may be Trump himself.
High-profile policies that fall flat don't get Trump's team closer to these goals.
