Here are some of the big ideas that have been floated from inside and outside the administration for the next 100 days.

Score Trade Deals that Build Off His Tariff Policies

When Trump announced new or increased tariffs on “Liberation Day” in the White House Rose Garden earlier this month, the world’s markets shook and economists were rattled. …

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the press repeatedly that roughly 70 nations have called the White House to negotiate. Experts say the key ones to changing America’s trade trajectory are Europe, Canada, India, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam.

Major financial figures like Bill Ackman and economists like Steve Moore are now predicting the 47th president could unleash a massive economic boom if he can succeed quickly in securing deals with major trade partners that are more fair and open to U.S. manufacturers. …

Moore, an adviser during the first Trump administration, admits he opposed using tariffs but has reconsidered his position and now believes if a healthy number of deals are secured by Trump in the next 100 days it could unleash prosperity and end market panic. …

Make the tax cuts permanent

Moore’s prediction of an economic boom leans into a second major task for the second 100 days: getting Trump’s 2017 tax cuts renewed before they expire at the end of the year. Though ridiculed by Democrats as a tax cut for the rich, the data shows the policy has been profound for everyday Americans. …

The goal now is to get the tax cuts made permanent in the next funding package, which Trump and Congress have called “one big beautiful bill.” …

‘Water Is The New Oil.’ Create a water czar.

At the very end of his first term, Trump signed an historic executive order aiming to re-imagine and reorganize America’s stressed water resources, especially in the West. Joe Biden’s election win thwarted that reform, and the need has only grown since.

China has been aggressively buying farmland in America that has rich water reservoirs, as have billionaires like Bill Gates. That trend only further heightens the oft-stated battle cry that “water is the new oil.”

Trump could consolidate the chessboard and make leadership of this pressing issue easier by naming a czar for water rights just like he did for border security. …

Name a ‘Transparency Czar’ to speed promised release of government documents

One of Trump’s half-met promises from the first 100 days was releasing declassified documents from America’s many scandals and controversies, from Russia collusion and Jeffrey Epstein to the JFK, RFK and MLK assassinations.

The initial releases poured hundreds of thousands of pages of documents into the public domain but often left historians and Trump’s base underwhelmed and clamoring for more. The effort also took valuable time and resources from key administration officials like Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, offered Trump a big idea to speed releases and ease burdens on busy Cabinet secretaries: name a czar to oversee the process. Johnson has even given the job a catchy name: “Secretary of Radical Transparency.” …

End the state blockade and allow health insurance to be sold across state lines

America’s health insurance industry has for decades been a hodge-podge of regulated markets controlled by state insurance commissioners, and conservatives have long dreamed of breaking down the walls between states to increase competition and lower premium prices.

In 2019, Trump began moving in that direction with an order asking the Department of Health and Human Services to study how to break down barriers and let Americans buy health insurance across state lines. That job got interrupted by the Biden years but it is gaining excitement once again. …

End Gain of Function Research

The end of Trump’s first term collided with the Covid pandemic and as a result, Trump has made many government and research-altering policy proposals on how to prevent a future pandemic and a subsequent economic shutdown. The type of research that many believe led to the creation of the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus is called “gain of function,” and like Obama, who banned it during his time as president, Trump has indicated he intends to ban it once again. …
