Good morning! GM's Mary Barra says tariffs could cost the company billions, Tesla board chair denies looking for Musk replacement, and female founders reflect on Trump's first 100 days in office.
- Founder's scorecard. In the first 100 days of his second term in office, President Donald Trump has exerted power to a degree unprecedented among modern American presidents. As Fortune has covered elsewhere, that's led to widespread uncertainty among business leaders and consumers alike, increased federal spending, and the worst run for the stock market on record in the first 100 days of a U.S. presidency.
For many women, the president’s first 100 days have been trying and destabilizing. The woman-focused newsletter The Skimm polled over 17,000 subscribers and found widespread economic concern: 95.6% said the president’s tariffs should not stay in place, and an astounding 93% believe the U.S. is in, or is about to be in, a recession. For what it’s worth, many economists and analysts agree we’re on the way there.
