Wonder what the next US president needs to focus on? We've got the top 5 economic areas they must tackle—and a bit on Trump's billionaire status!

As the world eagerly awaits the inauguration of the next U.S. president, economic challenges loom large over the Oval Office. With growing concerns around inflation, a tightening job market, and global supply chain disruptions, the incoming leader will need to roll up their sleeves and dive into five critical economic areas. First on the list is tackling inflation, which has skyrocketed in recent years. A reliable strategy is essential to rein in soaring prices and restore trust in the economy.

Next is the job market. While the pandemic rattled employment rates, the recovery must be solidified by creating jobs that provide not just paychecks, but also opportunities for advancement. The incoming president should focus on investing in sectors like technology and clean energy that promise long-term growth while invigorating the economy. On that note, addressing income inequality should be a priority. The gap between the wealthy and the less fortunate has widened, making it crucial for policies that promote fair wages and better working conditions.

Another area that demands attention is infrastructure. The state of roads, bridges, and public transit in many parts of the U.S. is alarming, necessitating extensive investment to ensure safety and efficiency. Without a reliable infrastructure system, economic growth can hit a wall. Lastly, the next president must navigate the tricky waters of international trade, especially in an increasingly protectionist global climate. Rebuilding relationships with trade partners through fair agreements will be essential for economic expansion.

In related news, let’s not forget about the former showman-in-chief himself, Donald Trump. Often regarded as one of the wealthiest presidents, he boasts a net worth estimated at $3.7 billion. Enthusiastic about tax cuts and deregulation, Trump’s approach was a clear shift towards a business-focused governance model. As we look ahead to the future, it remains to be seen if the incoming president will follow suit or take a different path. Fun fact: every president since John F. Kennedy has had to juggle various economic crises—one of the most challenging roles on the world stage!
