Trump Delivers Activity Without Durable Policy Change

One year into Donald Trump’s second term, Ezra Klein and Yuval Levin argue the administration produced extensive headline actions but limited lasting policy change. Trump signed fewer laws than any modern president, regulatory activity lagged recent predecessors, and fiscal 2025 federal outlays rose about 4% versus 2024 driven by appropriations, defense, and immigration spending. Levin highlights selective, short-term governing over wholesale institutional reform.
