Donald Trump has promised big changes for the US economy.

He has promised to tackle inflation, tariffs and big cuts to taxes, regulation and the size of government.

But many of his policies are more likely to hurt the economy than help it.

Analysts say he will run into political and economic realities that will make it hard to deliver all his promises.

Trump is widely expected to prioritise extending expiring tax cuts above cutting spending.

Analysts say borrowing will surge under the Trump administration and add to inflation pressures.

But he will also face resistance from those inside his party worried about already high US debt.

The so-called Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ) has also scaled back its ambitions.
