Trump 2.0 The First Year: An Assessment

from Economic Update with Richard D. Wolff Hosted by DemocracyAtWork.info, Inc.

This week on Economic Update, Professor Wolff provides an assessment of the first year of Trump's second term in office, covering how he inherited the problems of a declining empire and proved unable, or unwilling, to stop or reverse the decline, and how that flows in part from the ways the Republican and Democratic parties operate and in part from the difficult conditions both face. The results at the end of the first year are very poor for both parties. The d@w Team Economic Update with Richard D. Wolff is a DemocracyatWork.info Inc. production.
