  • Calmes: It’s all Trump’s economy now

    6 days ago | modbee.com | Jackie Calmes

    OK, I got something wrong about President Trump. On the eve of his inauguration, I wrote a column establishing, with data, how fine an economy he was inheriting; one big financial firm declared it the "Roaring '20s." My point was less to counter Trump's claims that President Biden had destroyed the economy, and more to offer a pre-buttal to what I expected would be Trump's efforts to steal credit for fixing what wasn't broken.

    Ken Griffin, one of the billionaire donors who’d convinced themselves that President Trump wouldn’t do some things he campaigned to do, finally got it right last week. Griffin inadvertently identified the irony of Trump’s presidency so far: The man who made a brand of his own name (“TRUMP,” all caps) — and a fortune licensing it as a signifier of success on products from hotels to sneakers — has all but wrecked the United States’ brand in 100 days.
