Trump is fucking with all of those because he has a 1930's greengrocer's understanding of how macroeconomics work.

It's a complex topic! But one way to think about it is, can he be the American Liz Truss, and permanently damage American growth and GDP, or will the markets discipline him in time for him to declare victory, or will there be some sort of palace coup where he's given a different set of bullshit to spout and everyone goes back to the status quo?

Sidenote to Mr. Borgen: No, the post-1945 world wasn't marked by universal justice, fairness, transparency, and equality. That's an important conversation. But Trump driving the world economy over a cliff isn't going to help anyone.
