Perhaps this is the optimist in me, but I do wonder if the second Trump term will end up being quite different from the first.
There is a chance (albeit very small chance) that we get some positive legislation and initiatives. One thing I recently wrote about is the possibility of curtailing regulatory bloat. This seems essential, perhaps even core, to any discussion of progress.
I am certainly not going to make any predictions, but I think there are many policy domains where Trump can really promote long-term material progress. Deregulation is just one of them.
I am taking a wait-and-see approach, but we will know for sure by May 2026. It really comes down to his priorities, which are very unclear.
