In late June, 16 Nobel economists, led by former World Bank Chief Economist Joseph Stiglitz, warned that a second Trump term would have a negative impact on America's economic standing and the domestic economy [739720be]. They criticized Trump's budget plans and his actions and policies in relation to other countries [739720be]. However, an article argues that economists often fail to understand the complex interaction of politics and economics and tend to trust center-left technocrats over populists, even though right-wing populists can be better stewards of the economy [739720be].

It concludes that the opposition of Nobel economists to Trump's economic policies can be seen as a ringing endorsement of his presidency [739720be].
