Lower interest rates. Reshoring manufacturing. Deporting large numbers of working age people. "Pull hard on any one of his threads, and the whole tent crashes down."
Mr. Trump seems unaware that these three policy goals all contradict one another. If he fully achieves any one of them, the other two will become impossible. If he genuinely attempts any two, we will all be hurt by the resulting worldwide economic catastrophe.
