Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: Does Trump Understand Basic Economics?

Professor Jeffrey Sachs, an esteemed economist from Columbia University, dives deep into the implications of Trump's economic policies. He critiques tariffs as harmful consumer taxes and discusses how they contribute to inflation. Sachs also sheds light on the U.S. trade deficit, pointing to domestic spending habits rather than foreign exploitation. The conversation expands to touch on U.S. foreign policy inconsistencies, especially regarding conflict zones and the historical context of European aggression towards Russia. It's a thought-provoking analysis of economics and politics.
