A “Higher Order” Review: A Year of Trumpian Views on Trade and Economy

All I’m going to do in this post is link to what I had written shortly after Trump’s election to the presidency, with this brief intro: Now, almost a year into Trump’s presidency, we can begin to see what effects are building from the particular “thinking error” I was there pointing to.  It’s pertinent to this blog’s theme, having to do with ethical/spiritual themes like, say, the Golden Rule.

While there may yet be no obvious or profound negatives, any supposed positives are either incidental to Trump policies and rhetoric or, I would argue, are short-term and vulnerable to reversal and later effects in a negative direction.  The post is “A Fundamental Thinking Error of Trump and his Supporters”, found here.
