Donald Trump’s economic policies are better than Kamala Harris’s, says economist

Julian Zelizer : Donald Trump ’s opponents have claimed his policies would raise inflation.

He says if he wins the election this week , these are areas he should reconsider: Energy exploration and border security.

Zelizer says tariffs and tax giveaways could raise inflation, but also raise wages.

He asks: What else? If he wins, he should rethink his policies, especially on energy exploration, border security and taxes.

John Avlon : It would give politicians like Trump a direct say in interest-rate policies.

Given Washington 's irresponsible fiscal track record of trillion-dollar deficits, does anyone believe that any politician would conduct monetary policy in a more responsible manner than the Federal Reserve ? Trump publicly endorsed quantitative easing (i.e., money-printing) back in April 2019 .
