0:00.0 | Economists have long predicted that Trump's tariff and trade policies would cause an economic disaster. |
0:05.7 | But in reality, it now seems Trump's plans could lead to spectacular success. |
0:09.9 | So economists are trying to learn from this experience and find out what is this thing called reality, |
0:14.7 | and why does it keep getting everything so terribly wrong? |
0:17.5 | To find the answers, the Daily Wire used the latest technology to actually shrink our |
