Trump's attacks on institutions threaten a bulwark of economic strength

The U.S. economy's reputation as a safe haven is threatened by President Trump's actions, including undermining the Fed's independence and meddling with economic statistics. Economists warn that politicizing these institutions could lead to higher borrowing costs and long-term economic instability. Such actions erode trust and could jeopardize the U.S.'s standing as a reliable place for investment.
