I've seen this clip several times now and it never ceases to take my breath away. Trump thinks he's doing a "gotcha" on Merz and is shocked by the "well actually..." Merz delivers. Trumps sheer ignorance on full display.

It's the shift from a regular capitalism to financial capitalism. Now, ultra-wealthy people can make more money by moving money around (crypto, stocks, trade deals, etc.) than by making things that people buy.
