Donald Trump's First 100 Day: Taxes, Trade, and Conflicts of Interest


Over the last three days I have bookmarked more than 35 articles related to the incoming Trump administration. I have winnowed a number of them down to three categories: taxes, trade, and conflicts of interest.

Taxes:
Republicans have a massive plan to overhaul the tax code — here's how it would work
Democrats Plotting ‘Collision Course’ With Trump’s Tax Plan

Trade:
Paul Krugman Is Right Here - The Danger Of Trumps' Trade Plans Is The Reverse China Shock
Stocks Could Suffer As Trump Trade Policy Takes Shape
A Trump Tariff Wall Would Help a Little, But Hurt a Lot
Just how far will Trump go on China and Mexico?
What Trump's Twitter diplomacy means for Australia and China

Conflicts of Interest:
Donald Trump's sons behind nonprofit selling access to president-elect
Eric Trump Foundation flouts charity standards
Donald Trump To Close Foundation To Avoid Potential Conflicts Of Interest
Trump Plans To Dissolve His Foundation; N.Y. Attorney General Pushes Back
Trump Vows to Dissolve Controversial Foundation (Democrats Say it Isn't Enough)
Trump announces plan to close foundation
Donald Trump Announces Intention to Dissolve Charitable Foundation

I have also included three other categories of articles:Trump himself, the media, and the Democratic Party.

The Donald
Disrupter-in-chief: How Trump has made us rethink everything

The Media:
Continuing Battle With Media, Trump Avoids News Conference
Trump Adopting Same Behavior He Criticized Clinton For
The Media Blew Overall, Yes, But There Were Noteworthy Exceptions, And Here They Are

Democratic Party:
Obstructionism is the path to disaster
The Democratic Party needs to offer an alternative vision of America to US voters, a vision that takes into consideration the concerns of a large segment of its population and not just to those of the party's liberal wing.
