Trump Economy LIES CRUMBLE as Reality HITS

In this Macro Take, Max from @UNFTR looks at what the White House and mainstream media consider “good news” and “solid data” on the economy. The reality for most Americans is the opposite but it’s all in how you spin the numbers. The fact of the matter is that we’re in one of the most complex and fragile economic environments that we’ve ever experienced. By sifting through the noise, Max sets up the philosophical argument about the success of Trump’s presidency depending upon the measures we use. He makes the argument that Trump’s second term is the most efficient presidency in history and that it will produce the worst possible outcomes. The question is whether the Democrats have the courage to learn from Trump’s actions to help us reverse course.
