    Trump reveals his economic advisers

    Trump: "Empowering Americans by freeing up the necessary tools for everyone to gain economically..."

    The campaign's policy team will be led by Stephen Miller.

    The first 2 minutes of this interview will exhibit that this shill's depth in economics is like the proverbial river that is an inch deep and a mile wide.

    Then there's this fella...

    "I feel like an anchovie on a block of Caesar salad..."

     

    The entire list of advisors are in the article here-->


    My apology to...Robert Hunter, Jerry Garcia and the boys in the band.

    Trump's Frankenstein economics


    NEW YORK -- Economists and Wall Street executives portrayed Donald Trump's economic platform as a kind of Frankenstein's monster, stitching together old ideas from the left and right.

    The plan, which many said defies ideological classification, includes a heavy dose of trickle-down tax cuts mixed with old-fashioned protectionism, reform-conservative social policy and a deregulation plan that should make Wall Street rejoice.

    The question is whether this very unusual mixture of policies rolled out in Detroit on Monday will prove captivating enough to any of Trump’s constituencies to stall his recent slide in the polls and recapture the momentum that drove him against all odds to the Republican nomination.

    But the initial reaction from economists, financial services executives and Republican analysts was less than positive as critics ripped the plan for lacking specifics while relying on broad generalizations to attack free-trade deals. Much more-->

     

    Gee... I wonder where he came up with that mish-mash?
