  • I’d be shocked if he survived til 2020! And if he was successfully elected again, then god almighty America is going down the drain.

    Trump's not fit to run the window at McDonald's.

    The economy is destroyed and the big operators (oligarchs) are pissed so lets give them a giant tax gift to keep them quiet so the ego maniac gets to boost his self admiration.  He's the dealer, right?

    Well said, Professor. You were able to judge in November 2017 that Trump was unfit to be President and subsequent events have proved you so right.

    And now we have Projects 2025 looming (Of course, he didn't know about it. He doesn't even know the people who drawn up this document.) 5:55 everyone is wrong sometimes.

    Why is this video unlisted? It can't be found on the channel, you need a link..
  • Read his book "The Price of Inequality".  I read it twice and then loaned it out to friends.  An articulate view of the economic problems in the USA.  I'm very glad I'm Canadian.

    A young Chinese researcher predicted that Trump would be elected in March 2016.

    Scores of cold-cases linked to "the Tisch purge" have been solved. The Tisch family is the majority owners of Loews Corp. of New York, NY. To date, they have not been called to account.

    Trump is destined to bury a great civilization while a new civilization from Asia has been born. I grieve over the end of the former civilization because my being was shaped by it. But i have to accept the reality that nothing and no one anymore can escape from this new civilization.

    Foolish discussion, is there anyway I edit or select the type of videos I receive from your channel.

    This interview hasn't aged too well .... hard to argue that Trump has not created jobs, thus improving the living standards of the working class.

    Stiglitz... emotionally affected. Not trustable.
