Larry Summers Says Markets Have Judged Trump’s First 100 Days

Welcome to the Wall Street Week newsletter, bringing you stories of capitalism about things you need to know, but even more things you need to think about. I’m David Westin, and this week we told the story of President Donald Trump’s first 100 days (the second time) and how two very different companies, Mars and Enel, have found success by embracing their own versions of stakeholder capitalism.

April 30 will mark the 100th day of Donald Trump’s presidency (this time around). Presidential historian Barbara Perry took us back to FDR’s coming to office in 1933 in the midst of the Great Depression, bringing with him the first “100 day” agenda. Trump has signed 130 executive orders this year as of April 17, blowing past FDR’s 99 executive orders he signed in his first 100 days.
