Washington Week with The Atlantic

Trump’s dramatic and destabilizing approach to the economy

Episode 32 | 9m 55s

President Trump likes attention, he likes movement, and he especially likes to keep people guessing. He doesn’t like trade deficits and numbers that don’t match his understanding of reality. The panel discusses Trump’s dramatic, and possibly destabilizing, approach to the economy.

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, Otsuka, Kaiser Permanente, the Yuen Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
