A new Financial Times/Michigan Ross School of Business poll finds more Americans trust Kamala Harris to handle the economy than Donald Trump, 42% to 41%.
Also interesting: “Fully 60% of those surveyed said Harris should either break completely from the president’s economic policies or ‘make major changes’ to his platform.”
Trump’s idea of the economy: we’ll put money in people’s pocket with checks and tax cuts and fund it all with deficit spending and rage at the fed for not having negative interest rates as if all of those things could coexist peacefully. And then we’ll rage at countries that are our largest imports and lob triple digit tariffs at them just to see if something good comes out of it. And we’ll do this all via Twitter because I’m in a golf cart
Minor note, he recently said the president should be able to tell the Fed what interest rates are. He won’t have to do much raging, he can just tell them money is free for Vance and his venture capitalist friends.

That’s pretty accurate except you went way too long without wandering off on some other topic.
