Trump considered a show business career but instead in 1964 enrolled at Fordham University. Two years later, he transferred to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in May 1968 with a Bachelor of Science in economics.
Jeremy Siegel is someone that when he speaks, you listen. He is a brilliant mind when it comes to the economy and economics in general and certainly has my attention.
Maybe this professor could find a way of releasing the “genius’” grades to the public. There is absolutely NO WAY trump was anywhere near the top of his class.
It's no mistake. Trumps interests do not align with American interests. Serving America's head on a platter is his price of admission to the autocrats club.
I am a small bussines owner, got 10 emails from my vendors, unfortunately I will have to charge my customers the tarifs...very bad for small businesses like mine
Are Trump's tariffs a mistake?
IsTrump is a Russian asset who is being used by right-wing billionaire oligarchs to end the American Empire and install the Fifth Reich?
If the above is true, isn't this the perfect time for the people of the world to unite and become a Democratic World Federation!
I don’t know…the Republican Neo-Cons, lead by George W. Bush, policy of nation building, I.e. the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, are the worst “policy mistake” this country has ever made.
Ever.
Cost the US trillions in $$$$ and tens of thousands of wounded and dead American kids.
Prior to every recession, EXPERTS WRONGLY advised against selling. 2025 will see increases in inflation, unemployment, graft by government officials,contagious diseases, crime, homelessness, civil unrest, personal and business bankruptcies, plus lower world trade and lower corporate earnings.
The “ financial experts” urging calm have no understanding about how financial markets work & what moves them up & down. The worst depression of all time has just begun. The multitude of deranged and destructive fascist Trump actions have not had time to show the immense harm that they will bring.
The market is crashing tomorrow because of the tariffs, but the other actions that Trump and the GQP have taken to destroy our government’s ability to function and provide services will do more long term economic damage than tariffs. Turn everything from Red to Blue!
I like it when there's an implied precise reference. 95 years back is 1930. That was the year of the Smoot-Hawley Tariffs, which entrenched the Depression. The professor is holding class.
Thanks Marc. We must never forget there is always a method behind his madness. Always. And it's "How does this benefit me personally?" After that, everything he does makes sense.
Unfortunately, train is already left. Simply removing them will not put genie in the bottle. It took decades to build working partnerships and will take years to make foreign countries to even start talking back.
Economists are often mocked for being "multi-handed," but on tariffs, they all seem to be in agreement: they're a really, really bad idea. Maybe there are incredibly narrow, isolated situations where a temporary tariff might make sense, but Trump's punitive, across-the-board tariffs are horrific.
One of the guys who works for him used to be a subscriber to my blog. I kicked him out for misbehavior. Copying and paroting lines from my blog without giving me a shout-out is unfair.
Basically, the Trump admin has no idea, no plan, no understanding, no insight and no foresight. They don't even have hindsight.
Disgraceful that this team of offenders, conspiracy theorists, felons, racists, game show hosts and truth deniers could form a joke govt.

S&P 500 is only 3% away from entering a bear market. NASDAQ is already there.
That would mean two of the last 3 bear markets (& half of those experienced over the last two decades) occurred during Trump's watch.
MADA Make America Deflate Again
34x Felon's belong in prison, not in office
SCOTUS allowed all of this to happen

The very same Wharton that is hiding his records.
He also knows he doesn't have to know.
His job is to carnival barker for the alt-Right policy, and be a clown to distract everyone.
TRUMP IS DOING HIS JOB VERY WELL. It's just very bad for us.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief
Economists say the way Trump calculated tariffs makes no sense
An overly simplistic formula for “reciprocal tariffs” is unlikely to lead to the elimination of trade deficits, trade experts warn.
