Donald Trump keeps making erratic comments and he started a trade war with China. What impact has Trump had on the economy?

Let's get on topic. Welcome to On Topic, a weekly in-depth look at a topic that helps us understand the week's news. My name's Renato Mariati. I'm a former federal prosecutor, a

practicing lawyer, and a CNN legal analyst, and I'm joined by my friend Patty

For other people, it was the very beginning when he said that Mexico

Yeah, I gotta say, it is interesting to me
