Friends,

It’s terrifying to hear Trump talk about economics, because it’s unclear whether he (1) is losing it, (2) never had it, (3) is going to make policy based on his crazy notions, or (4) is being advised by anyone with even half a brain.

We all have reason to be terrified because it’s probably all four.

Here’s my conversation with Jonathan Capehart. We’ll be speaking again tonight.
