Trump Is Making Promises That Many Economists Call Unrealistic
Briefly

Former President Donald J. Trump has pledged to halve energy costs within a year, but experts doubt the feasibility of his ambitious economic promises.
Economists highlight that the president's influence on energy prices is limited, especially given that oil is a globally traded commodity, restricting his ability to deliver on promises.
Trump's plan is to expand oil and gas drilling while reducing regulatory barriers on power plant construction, but he lacks robust economic analysis to support his claims.
Analysts conclude that Trump's previous campaign patterns mirror his current pledges, focusing on grand outcomes with insufficient concern for realistic costs and implementation.
